We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

​English devolution: Area factsheets

​​A summary of facts, functions and distinctive arrangements for areas benefitting from English devolution. ​

The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill will deliver on the government’s commitment to widen and deepen devolution across England, providing Mayors with unprecedented powers to deliver growth.

The area factsheets provide information on areas benefitting from English devolution, including electoral terms, route to established status, police and fire functions, distinctive governance arrangements and local government reorganisation (where applicable).

Government’s intention is that there will be a standard set of powers for Strategic Authorities with standardised governance arrangements in most cases. However, some existing Authorities will retain functions they already hold even if these are not being extended to places in future via the Devolution Framework. Similarly, there will remain exceptional cases where bespoke governance arrangements will continue to be needed. The ‘Future Distinctive Governance Arrangements’ sections of the area factsheets will identify where this applies.

UN Human Rights Council 58: UK Statement at the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Torture
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

UN Human Rights Council 58: UK Statement at the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

A UK spokesperson said:

Thank you, Mr President,

We thank the Special Rapporteur for her work and welcome the recommendations in the recent report on hostage-taking.

The UK unreservedly condemns the use of torture. There are no circumstances whatsoever that justify the use of torture or hostage taking. It is an abhorrent violation of human rights and human dignity.

We strongly believe that the prevention of torture, and tackling impunity for those who use torture, are essential components of safeguarding our security and integral to a fair legal system and the rule of law.

We are proud to work with partners and civil society to support torture prevention initiatives globally, including through our support for the Association for the Prevention of Torture. The UK is a signatory of the Declaration against Arbitrary Detention in State-to-State Relations and remains a vocal supporter of the Canadian-led initiative in its efforts to combat this practice.

We encourage the small minority of states which have not yet done so to ratify and implement the UN Convention against Torture, and the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages.

Special Rapporteur,

How can we better support states to overcome the barriers preventing them from ratifying the UN Convention against Torture?

Charities paying a trustee or a connected person: understand the rules (CC11)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-24)

Understand the rules and risks when using charity funds to pay a trustee or a person or organisation connected to a trustee.

Being a trustee is generally a voluntary role. This is what makes the charity sector unique and promotes trust and confidence in charities.

Sometimes, charities pay trustees. This guidance series is about different types of trustee payments or benefits. Read the right guidance if you are thinking about paying a trustee, or a person or organisation connected to a trustee. It sets out the risks and the rules you must follow.

If you are looking to change your charity’s governing document to allow trustee payments, read the right guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changing-your-charitys-governing-document-cc36).

Charities can pay trustee expenses: the costs that trustees reasonably incur to perform that role.

Paying expenses to trustees is not a trustee payment or benefit.

Think about whether you should encourage trustees at your charity to claim their expenses to avoid them stepping down for financial reasons.

Read guidance about paying expenses (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/trustee-expenses-what-charities-can-pay).
Ofqual seeks views on improvements to supporting compliance for AOs
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-20)

The regulator is to refine its approach to ensure awarding organisations continue to offer high quality qualifications.

Changes to improve the way Ofqual both supports compliance and takes regulatory action were put out for consultation today.

The changes are designed both to support awarding organisations and ensure that enforcement action, when it is needed, is proportionate and fair, to maintain the standards of qualifications that students and the public rely on.

The updated approach introduces proposals to better explain the way in which the regulator uses its powers. It also proposes revised and more efficient processes for dealing with regulatory breaches and a new sanction.

Proposals include:

a streamlined process for settling simple cases quickly, where organisations agree they have breached Ofqual’s conditions

a new sanction of a public rebuke from the regulator in cases where it’s right that a failure to follow regulatory rules be addressed formally and publicly, but where a fine may not be proportionate

Where cases are not contested, it is proposed that the chief regulator will have the power to decide that a final decision can be made by a single decision-maker.

Deputy Chief Regulator Michael Hanton said: “The 11 million certificates awarded for regulated qualifications in England each year are intrinsic to our education system, the economy, and wider society. Ofqual’s job is to be the guardian of standards and quality in those qualifications.

“Like all regulators, we want those we regulate to comply with our rules, so that standards are maintained. These proposals are intended to bring clarity about how we will both support compliance and also take action when necessary.”

The updated policy, ‘Supporting Compliance and Taking Regulatory Action’, will include a new section explaining the ways Ofqual can support awarding organisations to meet its requirements and avoid the need for formal enforcement action.

Previous work on updating the policy was interrupted by the pandemic.

The consultation was launched today (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/amending-our-taking-regulatory-action-policy), Thursday, 20 February 2025, and will end on Tuesday, 15 May 2025, at 11:45pm.

Background information:

Ofqual regulates 249 awarding organisations, certificating over 11 million certificates a year. These include GCSEs, A levels, T Levels, apprenticeship assessments and safety critical qualifications in sectors such as healthcare, childcare and security.

Parliament gave Ofqual enforcement powers in the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009. Those powers were amended by the Education Act 2011.

The Taking Regulatory Action policy was last amended in 2012.

Ofqual previously consulted on the proposal to implement a ‘rebuke’ as part of its consultation on this policy in 2019. This work was paused due to the pandemic.

30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide: UK statement to the OSCE, July 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-10)

Ambassador Holland honours the memory of those killed in the Srebrenica genocide, and underlines the UK's support to Bosnia and Herzegovina in its ongoing efforts to build a stable, inclusive country for all its citizens.

Madam Chair, 30 years ago in Srebrenica, genocide took place in Europe for the first time since 1945. Over 8,000 innocent men and boys were brutally killed in a single month that summer, and more than 20,000 women and children were forcibly uprooted from their homes. We honour the memory of those killed, pay tribute to the survivors, and stand firm alongside them in their pursuit of justice and reconciliation.

On 16 June, the UK marked our National Srebrenica Memorial Day at a ceremony in St Paul’s Cathedral, attended by the Deputy Prime Minister. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Edinburgh will visit Bosnia and Herzegovina this week for the official Commemoration at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia found that several individuals were guilty of genocide in Srebrenica. Acknowledgement of that fact should in no way be seen as an attempt to blame an entire country or people for the suffering of another, and it should not be a cause for tension and division. Rather, it is a basis on which true reconciliation can be achieved.

The UK stands with Bosnia and Herzegovina in its ongoing efforts to build a stable, inclusive country for all its citizens, regardless of religion or ethnicity, and to heal the divisions inflicted by war. It is deeply troubling that divisive and inciteful rhetoric, reckless secessionist ambitions, and direct attacks on the Dayton Peace Agreement – which remains Bosnia and Herzegovina’s constitutional framework – continue to threaten peace and stability.

Madam Chair, this will be the fourth successive year that we mark this anniversary in the shadow of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Terrible events such as the genocide at Srebrenica show the consequences of inaction. We owe it to the victims to create societies that are stable, inclusive and cohesive, and to fight against prejudice, hatred, fear and division. Remaining true to our shared commitment to the concept of comprehensive security, articulated by the Helsinki principles and central to membership of the OSCE, remains the best way to achieve this.

Only through such collective responsibility can we honour the past, respect the survivors’ enduring efforts, and work to ensure that atrocities such as the Srebrenica genocide are never repeated.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Prudent Supported Living Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Prudent Supported Living Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
