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 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 D1 Recruitment 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
We also pledge the following:

Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community: we endeavour to provide training and support that is funded by us to ensure the best possibilities of future work prospects within the construction industry. Health: We help them engage with our specialist Wellbeing Performance Coaches to ensure a positive way to transition to civilian life in the work place. Housing: We want to help combine our skills with the Veterans Aid to help cement a sustainable life to help with better structure to help secure their housing needs. Education: We will provide training that is fully funded with the support of mentors to help them along their journey while training. We have been working with ex military, local authorities, trauma specialists and construction experts across the UK to put together a package where we can assess a veteran for trauma and help them, help with their initial transition into construction, provide training, provide pay while training, building relationships. with builder while training in order to secure permanent work and provide a care package to support them through the whole process so if they fall down then we can pick them up, and they dont have to pay for anything that we provide.
