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 Premier Compliance UK Limited 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 Premier Compliance UK Limited 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
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
- Additional Leave for Reservists
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.

Proposed changes to the availability of puberty blockers for under 18s
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)

Proposal to make a permanent order to prevent new patients aged under 18 from beginning to take puberty blockers for the purposes of gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria, under the care of private prescribers.

This consultation ran for 7 weeks and was sent to representative groups of those likely to be affected by a potential order. This includes the royal colleges, professional bodies, regulators, academics and voluntary, community and social enterprises representing patients, prescribers, pharmacists and others.

On behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Minister of Health for Northern Ireland, the department consulted with representative groups and the independent Commission on Human Medicines for their expert view, in line with legislative requirements. This consultation also builds on the extensive consultation undertaken for the Cass Review and previous NHS England consultations. As such the questions focus on the impact of the proposed permanent order, and the benefits and risks of making such an order permanent.

The limited impact assessment published with the Medicines (Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone Analogues) (Emergency Prohibition) (Extension) (No.2) Order 2024 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2024/868/contents/made) was shared as part of the targeted consultation. This emergency order came into force on 27 November 2024 and will expire on 31 December 2024.

Rapist who filmed assault has sentence increased
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

A man who raped a woman and shared a video of his assault with other people has had his sentence increased, following intervention by the Solicitor General.

Gagandeep Gulati (20), from Hounslow, West London, has had his sentence increased by three years after the Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP, referred the case to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

The Court heard that Gulati found the victim near Jubilee Square in Leicester city centre and coerced her to go to Castle Gardens where he raped and sexually assaulted her.

Gulati’s movements were captured by CCTV, which led detectives to an accommodation where he was arrested.

During police enquiries, Gulati claimed that he had been raped and assaulted by the victim. However, detectives found that he had filmed his attack on the victim and shared the footage with other people.

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

Gagandeep Gulati’s rape of a vulnerable young woman before sharing his awful crimes with other people was sickening.

I welcome the court’s decision to increase his sentence following my intervention.

On 28 March 2025, Gagandeep Gulati was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for rape, assault by penetration, sexual assault, and sharing or threatening to share an intimate photograph or film. He was also placed on the sex offender register for life.

On 19 June 2025, judges increased Gulati’s sentence to nine years, while imposing concurrent sentences for the assault by penetration and sexual assault of four years and six months respectively after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

The experience of Additional Work Coach Support: Findings from qualitative interviews with customers
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-01)

This report details the findings of in-depth qualitative research with customers to understand the experience of Additional Work Coach Support.

Research background

This report was commissioned as part of research and evaluation activities to develop a robust evidence base to inform the development and delivery of the department’s Additional Work Coach Support.

Contribution to the evidence base

This report promotes understanding of DWP health journey customers’ experience of receiving additional support from a work coach. Specifically, the research focused on:
- how the support offer was communicated to claimants, and what their expectations and goals were for the support
- claimants’ experience of receiving the additional support in practice
- the extent to which claimants felt comfortable discussing their health condition, and other barriers to work, with their work coach
- the types of support offered by work coaches, and how this was viewed by claimants including whether this was appropriately personalised to support needs
- qualitative evidence of outcomes around confidence, motivation, wellbeing and attitudes towards work as well as movement towards or into employment
Recent ad hoc analyses also report positive impact on employment outcomes for customer groups (limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA) and work related activity group (WRAG)). These can be found at:
- the impact of additional Jobcentre Plus support on the employment outcomes of disabled people (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-impact-of-additional-jobcentre-plus-support-on-the-employment-outcomes-of-disabled-people)
Research value

The department will use these findings, alongside the wider evaluation and evidence base to improve our services and design DWP’s future employment support.

PM statement on the new US initiative to deliver an end to the war in Gaza.

The new US initiative to deliver an end to the war in Gaza is profoundly welcome and I am grateful for President Trump’s leadership.

We strongly support his efforts to end the fighting, release the hostages and ensure the provision of urgent humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza. This is our top priority and should happen immediately.

We call on all sides to come together and to work with the US Administration to finalise this agreement and bring it into reality. Hamas should now agree to the plan and end the misery, by laying down their arms and releasing all remaining hostages.

Together with our partners, we will continue work to build consensus to put into place a permanent ceasefire. We are all committed to a collective effort to end the war in Gaza and deliver a sustainable peace, where Palestinians and Israelis can live side by side in safety and security.

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 Ramboll UK Limited 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;
