Ellen Thinnesen announced as new Further Education Commissioner
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)

Ellen Thinnesen will lead work to boost college leadership and governance.

Ellen Thinnesen OBE, Chief Executive of Education Partnership North East, has been appointed as the next Further Education Commissioner, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson announced today (28 August 2025).

Ellen has a wealth of experience and knowledge to bring to the role having been CEO and Principal of Sunderland College from 2016 and Chief Executive of Education Partnership North East from 2019. This includes successfully leading three colleges – Sunderland College, Northumberland College and Hartlepool Sixth Form College – through mergers and transforming them to become one of the strongest groups in the sector in terms of both quality of teaching and financial health.

As Further Education Commissioner, Ellen will lead a team of Deputies and Advisers to support and strengthen the leadership and governance of colleges, ensuring they are well run and continue to offer high quality education and training to the communities they serve.

She will play a key role in driving improvement at pace across the sector and delivering on the Government’s missions through its Plan for Change, with a focus on growing the economy in key sectors and breaking down barriers to opportunity through tackling the rising numbers of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET).

Ellen will take up her post in January 2026 for a three-year term.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said:

I am delighted to appoint Ellen to the vital role of FE Commissioner. Her experience of driving improvement will be invaluable as we work to ensure the FE sector creates the skills our economy and communities need to thrive.

I would like to thank Shelagh Legrave CBE DL for her work in the role over the last three years and I wish her all the best for the future.

Ellen Thinnesen said:

It is a great privilege to be appointed Further Education Commissioner at this crucial time when skills are vital to delivering the Government’s missions for growth and opportunity.

The further education sector plays a critical role in transforming lives and driving economic growth. Looking ahead, it is well-placed to tackle persistent skills challenges, deliver equitable access to quality education, and re-engage those not in education, employment, or training (NEET). By adapting, innovating, and aligning provision with future labour market needs, the sector has a vital role in equipping learners with the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing economy.

I look forward to working with colleges across England to ensure they are in the strongest possible position to change people’s lives for the better and meet the needs of employers and communities.

National Security Act 2023
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

The National Security Act introduces new measures to modernise counter-espionage laws and address the evolving state threat to national security.

With this new legislation, the UK is now a harder target for those states which seek to conduct hostile acts against the UK, including espionage, interference in our political system, sabotage, and assassination.

The act introduces an offence of foreign interference, meaning it will now be illegal to engage in conduct that interferes with fundamental rights, such as voting and freedom of speech, that are essential to the UK’s democracy.

The act also introduces a new Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS), which increases transparency of foreign power influence in UK democracy and politics and provides greater assurance around the activities of foreign powers which pose the greatest risk to UK safety and interests.

UK financial sanctions are in place for persons involved in serious corruption or that are linked to those involved in serious corruption. This document provides a current list of designated persons.

The Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations 2021 impose UK sanctions relating to serious corruption.

Context

As set out in the regulations, the global anti-corruption sanctions regime is aimed at preventing and combatting serious corruption (bribery or misappropriation of property).

The regulations impose sanctions on persons designated due to involvement in serious corruption or because they are linked to those involved in serious corruption.

This regime replaces the Misappropriations (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 regime concerning misappropriation of state funds from any country outside the UK.

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 LTE Group 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 LTE Group 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists

Meningococcal C conjugate vaccine: advice for healthcare practitioners
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-27)

From summer 2013, changes to the meningococcal C vaccine schedule will offer better protection to teens and young adults, including those entering university for the first time.

Studies show that vaccination against meningococcal C (MenC) disease in early childhood provides a relatively short-term protective immune response. Protection given by vaccination at 12 months wanes by the teenage years, but vaccination later in childhood provides higher levels of antibody that persist for longer.

This document summarises the changes to the schedule, including those entering university for the first time, and addresses likely technical questions about making the changes work in practice.

- By resolving these errors before accepting applications, we will save our customers thousands of hours spent on unnecessary administrative tasks and enable an improved speed of service by allowing caseworkers to focus on the more complex areas of land registration.
From autumn 2025, customers submitting applications through the Digital Registration Service, on both the HM Land Registry portal and through third-party software providers, will be unable to submit applications containing simple errors. We’ll be working with third-party integrators to support the adoption of this new service.

Many of these checks are already being performed in the Digital Registration Service on the portal and will soon be available for all Business Gateway-enabled software.

By 2028 this could save customers an estimated 300,000 hours a year, waiting for an unnecessary, manual, administrative process, and end annoying requisitions that can be resolved much earlier. This is roughly 150 people, working full time, for a year.

Mark Gray, Chief Transformation & Technology Officer, said

This is another key milestone in improving our customer service and our processing times. By preventing errors up-front, automating routine tasks and removing unnecessary correspondence, we will save time for our customers and our caseworkers alike. And this is just the next step in modernising and automating more of our work, there is much more to come.

HM Land Registry is focusing on easily avoidable, administrative errors to save customers’ time but also to enable further automation of HM Land Registry processes – removing time-consuming administrative work and improving overall service speeds.

The organisation will continue to enhance the registration service by introducing further checks on the data contained in transfer and charge deeds in late 2026.

ARTG8250 - First-tier and Upper Tribunals: Appeals to the tribunal: Customer appeals with a postponement application (direct taxes)
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-23)


The tribunal only considers postponement applications where they have been refused by HMRC and the customer applies to the tribunal to decide the matter. Where a customer applies to the tribunal in relation to a postponement application, then it may be that either
- they disagree with HMRC’s refusal of their postponement application, or
- they may have applied to the tribunal by mistake instead of HMRC.
Where HMRC have refused the application for postponement, see ARTG2530 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/appeals-reviews-and-tribunals-guidance/artg2530)the decision maker will need to prepare HMRC’s case for tribunal.

If the customer has applied to the tribunal but had not previously applied for postponement when they appealed to HMRC, the decision maker should consider the application when it is received from the tribunal.

If the decision maker thinks the application is reasonable, they should write to the customer accepting the postponement application and tell the Tribunals Service that the postponement application has been accepted.

For instructions on how to postpone or informally stand over charges with self-assessment, see SAM11000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-manual/sam11000)+ (for SA) or COM10120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com10120) and COM10121 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com10121) (for COTAX or SAFE).

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 Inspired 4 Life Coaching Ltd 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 Inspired 4 Life Coaching 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Any additional commitments Inspired 4 Life Coaching Ltd could make (based on local circumstances).

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.
