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 New Washington Medical 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 New Washington Medical 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
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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.

Impact of UK climate change risk on the delivery of education
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

In response to an independent assessment, the Department for Education (DfE) has reviewed how climate change risk could impact education delivery.

The adaptation committee’s independent assessment of UK climate risk (https://www.theccc.org.uk/publication/independent-assessment-of-uk-climate-risk/) sets out the priority climate change risks and opportunities for the UK.

The committee identified 3 key climate change risks as being likely to have an impact on education. These were:
- overheating
- flooding
- water scarcity
In response, DfE has carried out an initial assessment of those risks. We made a commitment to understand such risks in our sustainability and climate change strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sustainability-and-climate-change-strategy).

Immunisation patient group direction (PGD) templates
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

PGD templates to support national immunisation programmes provided on the NHS.

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) immunisation patient group direction (PGD) templates have been developed and ratified in accordance with UKHSA PGD policy. They have been signed by a doctor, nurse and pharmacist, from UKHSA’s national immunisation team, who have been involved in the PGDs development.

UKHSA immunisation PGD templates require further authorisation, in Section 2 of the PGD document before they can be used. This should be by an appropriate authorising person, relating to the class of person by whom product is to be supplied, in accordance with the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/1916/contents/made) (HMR). This may be a clinical governance or patient safety lead, who has designated responsibility for signing PGDs on behalf of the authorising body. The PGD is not legal or valid without signed authorisation in accordance with HMR 2012 schedule 16 part 2 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/1916/schedule/16/part/2/made).

Adoption and governance of the use of UKHSA PGDs is the responsibility of the authorising organisation and provider.

Provider organisations, health professionals and immunisation practitioners should check they are working to the current PGD versions and only work to documents authorised in accordance with HMR 2012 schedule 16 part 2 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/1916/schedule/16/part/2/made).

These PGDs should be used with reference to the Green Book (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immunisation-against-infectious-disease-the-green-book), and summary of product characteristics (http://www.medicines.org.uk) for the vaccine.

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

Most exports will be cleared in the exporter's Member State. Only where there are 'duly justified good reasons' why this was not possible, the export declaration may be made in the UK.

Examples of 'duly justified good reasons' are change of contract and diversion of goods. Closure of a customs office is not a 'duly justified good reason'.

Where Customs is satisfied that a good reason exists an export declaration should be made in the UK. The EAD will be returned to you for forwarding to the exporter in the other Member State.

When and how the Charity Commission appoints Interim Managers
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-17)

The Charity Commission’s power to appoint an Interim Manager for a charity.

The Charity Commission has the power to appoint an Interim Manager (‘IM’) to act as receiver and manager in respect of the property and affairs of a charity.

An IM has the same duties and responsibilities as a trustee in relation to the management and administration of a charity .

The Commission can only use this protective power after opening a statutory inquiry under section 46 of the Charities Act 2011 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/25/section/46/enacted) (‘the Act’), if it is satisfied either that there is or has been misconduct and/or mismanagement in the administration of a charity or that it is necessary or desirable to protect the charity’s property.

How we process your data when you are appointed as an Interim Manager for a charity is explained in our Practitioner and Interim Manager Privacy Notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/practitioner-and-interim-manager-privacy-notice).

Insurance guidance for PFI projects
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-10)

The IPA is pleased to introduce this Guidance Note on the Insurance Premium Risk Sharing mechanism in PFI Projects. This note has been developed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) to provide greater clarity for parties to PFI contracts with Insurance Premium Risk Sharing Schedules (IPRSS).

The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) is the government’s centre of expertise for infrastructure and private finance projects.

This practical guidance note provides advice and a recommended report template for all parties involved in the regular review of insurance costs in PFI contracts to use. Contractors, insurance brokers and public sector contract managers should use this guidance to improve the efficiency and quality of the Insurance Premium Risk Sharing Schedule (IPRSS) exercises, which have been of variable quality in the past.

This note will help avoid and resolve any disputes which arise and which waste the parties’ precious resources.

Contributions from representative stakeholders, together with input from expert legal advisers and insurance consultants, ensures this note is balanced and, importantly, follows the principles of the IPRSS standardised drafting and guidance contained in Standardisation of PFI Contracts (SoPC).
