ECSH45812 - Fit and proper and approvals: contents: operational guidance: fit and proper what is tested: competence and capability
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-10)


When determining whether a business and all of its beneficial owners, officers, or managers (BOOMs) are fit and proper (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh45030) you will need to consider whether they have adequate experience in accordance with regulation 58(4)(c) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/692/regulation/58) of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), the decision maker (DM) should consider factors relating to competence and capability.

If the DM is satisfied that a business or its BOOMs do not have adequate skills and experience, this may also lead to the determination that the business is at risk of being used for money laundering or terrorist financing which would constitute a failure under regulation 58(4)(b) of MLR 2017 as well.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of factors that may indicate that a business or its BOOMs do not have adequate skills and experience. The DM should also consider any additional factors that demonstrate a lack competence and capability.

(1) Whether the person satisfies the relevant training and competence requirements in relation to the role the person performs or is intended to perform.

(2) Whether the person has demonstrated by experience and training that the person is suitable, or will be suitable if approved, to perform the role.

(3) Whether the person has adequate time and other resources of any kind available to them in order to perform the role and meet the responsibilities associated with that role.

(4) Whether the person has demonstrated compliance or a consistent fialure with their obligations under any of the following:
- MLR 2017.
- Money Laundering Regulations 2001.
- Money Laundering Regulations 2003, or,
- Money Laundering Regulations 2007.
If you have enough evidence to show that there has been a consistent fialure in (4) above, this would constiture a failure under regulation 58(4)(a) MLR 2017.

A person may have been convicted of or dismissed or suspended from employment for drug or alcohol abuse or other abusive acts. This will be considered only in relation to a person’s continuing ability to perform the particular role for which the person is or is to be employed.

The relevant training requirements are set out in regulation 24 MLR 2017. Further information on training can be found at ECSH33220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33220).
Incentives Policy Framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-31)

A common framework and guidance on incentives policies.

The Incentives Policy Framework, together with other key policies, such as Adjudications, and for Young Offender Institutions (YOIs), the Building Bridges Policy Framework, allow Governors to incentivise good behaviour and tackle poor behaviour and breaches of the Prison Rules and YOI Rules, helping prisoners to make the right choices to prepare them to lead crime-free lives when they leave prison.

The Incentives Policy Framework provides a system of privileges, which is a key tool for incentivising prisoners to abide by the rules and engage in the prison regime and rehabilitation, including education, work and substance misuse interventions – whilst allowing privileges to be taken away from those who behave poorly or refuse to engage. This policy sets a common framework with which local incentives policies must comply.

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 Lady Locksmiths 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 Lady Locksmiths 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

PM statement on the Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza: 8 August 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-07)

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statement on the Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza.

The Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately. This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed.

Every day the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and hostages taken by Hamas are being held in appalling and inhuman conditions. What we need is a ceasefire, a surge in humanitarian aid, the release of all hostages by Hamas and a negotiated solution. Hamas can play no part in the future of Gaza and must leave as well as disarm.

Together with our allies, we are working on a long-term plan to secure peace in the region as part of a two-state solution, and ultimately achieve a brighter future for Palestinians and Israelis.

But without both sides engaging in good faith in negotiations, that prospect is vanishing before our eyes. Our message is clear: a diplomatic solution is possible, but both parties must step away from the path of destruction.

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.

As the capital cost of pipe-lines is extremely high, it is important that intending operators should be aware of the Department’s requirements at the earliest possible stage of planning. Any proposals which may come to local knowledge to construct an import/export pipe-line, or which may be cause for the movement of goods under revenue control are to be reported to the appropriate Large Business (LB) Oils Team.
Sussex: groundwater situation
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-28)

The latest update on monitored groundwater levels and whether there are any groundwater alerts or warnings in force.

This document provides information on the groundwater situation for Sussex.

Flooding from groundwater can happen when the level of water within the rock or soil that makes up the land surface (known as the water table) rises. The level of the water table changes with the seasons due to variations in long term rainfall and water abstraction. When the water table rises and reaches ground level, water starts to emerge on the surface and flooding can happen.

Lead local flood authorities (the unitary or County Council) are responsible for managing the risk of flooding from groundwater. They set out how they plan to do this in their local flood risk management strategies.

The Environment Agency has a strategic overview for all sources of flooding including groundwater. This means they will provide support to other risk management authorities. They supply information in the form of monitored groundwater levels. In some areas that have historically experienced groundwater flooding, the Environment Agency provides a groundwater alert or warning service.

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.
