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 Buckinghamshire Business First 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 Buckinghamshire Business First 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

Source: gov.uk (2025-05-15)

NRS Dounreay has been awarded Gold status for skills and training for the fourth consecutive year by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board.

The engineering construction industry values its members, who design, construct, maintain, renew and dismantle the UK’s strategically important industrial infrastructure. Not only is it essential that these individuals are highly skilled and competent, but it is also essential that their competence is properly recognised and validated.

Dounreay’s P3M Head of Profession, Simon Coles, said:

For NRS Dounreay, achieving the highest score possible in the assessment showcases the dedication and excellence of the training and development team.

Training and Development Specialist Rhona Gill and Simon Coles were photographed receiving the award from representatives of Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB).

ECITB’s Relationship Manager, Sophie Anderson, said:

I am delighted that NRS Dounreay has been awarded Gold status through the ECITB Skills and Training Charter for the fourth consecutive year.

Achieving Gold means NRS Dounreay continues to actively engage across the ECITB strategy and reinforces its pledge to train and develop a highly skilled and competent workforce.

Rotavirus: guidance, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-13)

The characteristics, diagnosis, surveillance and epidemiology of rotavirus.

Rotavirus causes gastroenteritis. The symptoms include severe watery diarrhoea, usually with vomiting, fever, and stomach cramps.

Infants and young children are most at risk of rotavirus disease, as they can become severely dehydrated and may require hospitalisation. The symptoms usually last from 3 to 8 days. Adults may become infected but repeat infections are generally less severe than infections during childhood.

Rotavirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis in infants and very young children. A rotavirus vaccine was introduced to the national vaccination schedule for babies in 2013, alongside other routine childhood immunisations. Babies receive 2 doses of vaccine at 8 and 16 weeks of age. The amount of rotavirus among infants has declined following use of the vaccine.

More information about rotavirus is available from the NHS website (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diarrhoea-and-vomiting/#close).

Employers, who have paid employees arrears of SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP under the provision governing backdated pay awards, can recover the additional amount of SP from their payment to Accounts Office as normal

Legislation provides that employers should use the rate appropriate at the time the SP payment would have been due, for example, they should use the compensation rate for 2015/16 if:
- the SP should have been paid in April 2016, and
- the employer qualified for SER in the 2015/16 tax year.
However, to reduce the administrative burdens on business, employers can use the rate of SP compensation current at the time the additional payment is made.

UK Statement at the 58 Human Rights Council during the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on Sudan. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the UN & WTO, Simon Manley.

Mr Vice President,

High Commissioner, thank you for your report.

Nearly two years of wholly unnecessary conflict after an unnecessary coup d’etat.

Thousands of civilians killed. Millions facing starvation. Targeted attacks on civilians. And rampant sexual violence, as our Foreign Secretary heard first-hand on the Sudan-Chad border just last month.

It is appalling that those seeking refuge in IDP camps are subject to further violence. The recent RSF attacks on ZamZam IDP Camp and drone strikes in El Fasher are simply unacceptable.

We welcome the continued cooperation between your office High Commissioner, the Designated Expert and the Independent Fact-Finding Mission. These efforts to document and investigate human rights violations and abuses are critical to ending the cycle of violence.

Vice President.

All parties must uphold their Jeddah Declaration commitments and bring an end to the violence.

Aid actors need safe and unhindered humanitarian access to areas of greatest need, including Darfur.

And all perpetrators of human rights violations and abuses need to be held to account to end the entrenched impunity in Sudan.

High Commissioner, what more can we do to end impunity in Sudan?

Thank you.

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.

Source: gov.uk (2025-06-03)

Methodology for the estimated additional apprenticeship achievements by region, following the 19+ English and maths policy change in 2025.

This document provides the background methodology on the estimated impact on apprenticeships achievement volumes by region, following the change in English and maths policy effective from 11 February 2025.

It sets out how indicative apprenticeships qualification achievement rates (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/introduction-to-qualification-achievement-rates-qars) (QARs) data for learners aged 19 and over who studied English or Maths alongside their apprenticeship is used to estimate additional achievements.

Apprenticeship achievement rates are published as part of the apprenticeships accredited official statistics (https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships/2024-25).

The specific regional achievement rates for 2023 to 2024 underpinning this analysis are in the ‘additional supporting files’ section of the apprenticeships official statistics (https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships/2024-25#section-additional-supporting-files).
