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 Sentinel Ambulance Services 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 Sentinel Ambulance Services 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
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.
NK v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (PIP): [2025] UKUT 363 (AAC)
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Stout on 20 October 2025.

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-PIP (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6914bf72db01ecfcf96fc88a/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-PIP.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The First-tier Tribunal erred in law by wrongly regarding the appellant as having put in issue on the appeal the descriptors in respect of which the Secretary of State had awarded her points because she had appealed on the basis that she should have been awarded more points in respect of those activities. The “issues” in the appeal for the purposes of section 12(8)(a) of the Social Security Act 1998 are the descriptors that are in dispute between the parties, not the descriptors in respect of which the Secretary of State has awarded points. Those descriptors are not in issue in the appeal, although the Tribunal has a discretion to consider them, provided it acts fairly in raising the additional issue(s).

In this case, the First-tier Tribunal had not acted fairly because it only warned the appellant in general terms that it had power to decrease her award as well as increase it. The Tribunal should also have identified the specific descriptors in relation to each activity where it was minded to reduce the points that the appellant had scored so that the appellant would have a fair opportunity to address the Tribunal’s concerns.

Tackling alcohol smuggling: outputs
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-24)

A report on the outputs of HMRC's alcohol strategy covering alcohol seizures, criminal enforcement and the	Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme.

Tackling alcohol fraud is an HM Revenue and Customs priority. The HMRC Alcohol Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-alcohol-strategy) was launched in 2010 and refreshed in 2016.

Our aims for alcohol, working with other enforcement agencies and the alcohol industry, are to:
- promote good compliance - making it easier for businesses to pay the right duties
- prevent tax losses - making it harder to make mistakes or to deliberately cheat, including addressing regime vulnerabilities, and exploring technology solutions to prevent fraud
- respond to those who cheat - increasing the impact of enforcement

Making Work Pay: the application of zero hours contracts measures to agency workers
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

The government is seeking views on the application of measures to tackle one-sided flexibility in zero hours contracts to agency workers.

The government is introducing measures to tackle one-sided flexibility in zero-hours contracts through a right to guaranteed hours with a contract that reflects the number of hours regularly worked, and a right to reasonable notice of shifts with payment for shifts cancelled or curtailed at short notice.

This consultation seeks views specifically on the application of these 2 measures to agency workers so responses from stakeholders can help to inform the government’s approach to legislation on this point.

The government will consult at a later date on the implementation of these 2 measures more generally.

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.

RFIG20530 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): The ties test: Definition of a family tie
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


The individual will have a family tie for the tax year under consideration if any of the following people are UK resident in their own right, for tax purposes for that year:
- their husband, wife or civil partner (unless they are separated)
- their partner if they are living together as husband and wife, or as civil partners
- their child, if under 18 years old
For the purposes of the SRT, HMRC will use the same principles applied to tax credits to determine if people are living together as husband and wife, or civil partners. (Refer to TCTM09330 for more information).

The individual will not have a family tie with a child who is under the age of 18 if they spend time with that child in person in the UK on fewer than a total of 61 days in the tax year concerned. If the child becomes 18 during that tax year, the individual will not have a family tie in respect of that child if they have seen the child on fewer than 61 days in the UK in the part of the year before the child's birthday.

Any day or part day that the individual sees their child in person in the UK counts as a day on which they see their child in the UK.

Partners can be living together either in the UK or overseas or both, and still meet this test.

Separated means separated:
- under an order of court or competent jurisdiction
- by deed of separation
- in circumstances where the separation is likely to be permanent.
There is more detailed guidance in the Supplementary Guidance section (RFIG22310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig22310) onwards) on family ties.
