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 Whitchurch Town Council 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 Whitchurch Town Council 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
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.

ECSH32905 - Duties of supervisory authority: how we check compliance: operational guidance: planning the intervention: results from initial review
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-18)


To plan your compliance check efficiently, you need a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve.

PERCET is often used as an acronym for how to carry out a compliance check. This stands for Plan, Establish, Record, Confirm, Evaluate, Test.

Planning helps you to:
- establish the areas of risk to be considered and how they will be addressed (see ECSH33205 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33205)).
- Conduct your compliance check in an organised and structured way.
- Make the best use of time and resources and avoid any unnecessary or duplicate requests to the business case.
- Build up a picture before you contact the business.
Once you’ve gathered your information (see ECSH32825 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32825)), you can review the material. Consider the below to help you plan your approach:

(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
- What records would you expect to see with this type of business (see ECSH32825 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32825))?
- What are the typical risks and weaknesses associated with this type of business? See ECSH32930. (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32930)
If you see a charge on the account for the Economic Crime Levy, you do not need to take any action as this is dealt with by another department. For more information see Economic Crime Levy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prepare-for-the-economic-crime-levy/get-ready-for-the-economic-crime-levy#:~:text=The%20Economic%20Crime%20Levy%20(%20ECL,%C2%A310.2%20million%20per%20year.).

Planning is an on-going process throughout the course of the compliance check. It must be evidenced in Caseflow (see ECSH34105 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh34105)). There isn’t a template to complete, so how you record it is up to you, but it must be retained. You may also adapt generic aide memoires to help with planning your interview – see ECSH32940. (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32940)If new information or new risks are identified or received, you will need to amend your plans accordingly. If, after carrying out your initial review, you consider that an intervention is no longer needed, speak to your manager.

Labour-augmenting technology and firm employment
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

This study conducted a randomised controlled trial with micro tailor shops in Burundi.

Abstract

The authors conducted a randomised controlled trial with 537 micro tailor shops in rural Burundi. Their intervention was a labour-augmenting technology: they converted manual sewing machines into automatic machines. They measured firm outcomes 3 and 6 months after the intervention. Their results demonstrated that labour-augmenting mechanisation can raise employment in low-income settings.

This paper is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.

Dedicated schools grant assurance (DSG): guidance for local authorities for 2024 to 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

Guidance for chief finance officers (CFOs) on how to submit the dedicated schools grant (DSG) assurance statement and note to the accounts for the 2024 to 2025 financial year.

Local authorities are responsible for financial regularity in schools. A local authority’s chief finance officer (CFO) is responsible for making the necessary arrangements for local financial and management controls, under section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972.

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 British Business Bank 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;
