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 Connectable SW 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 Connectable SW 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 Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

Equivalence is allowable where appropriate.

The trader must be able to show that the goods used are of the same 8 digit tariff code and have the same technical characteristics, commercial quality and origin as the exported goods.

This is most likely to apply in cases of processing of chemicals, metals etc, and in cases where there is common stocking by the processor of a large number of small items sharing common characteristics, but of different origins.

Traders intending to use equivalence must have prior authorisation to do so. Authorisation letters must show precise details of how the claim to equivalence is to be established, the records to be kept by the authorisation holder and any additional sampling requirements.

2022 Inventory for Geological Disposal
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-20)

Overview of the types of radioactive waste (and nuclear materials that could be declared as waste) to be disposed of in a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF)

The Inventory for Geological Disposal makes provision for all radioactive wastes (and nuclear materials that could be declared as waste) to be disposed of in a GDF.

The total packaged volume of the 2022 Inventory for Geological Disposal is estimated to be 769,000 m3, of which just over 10% is attributable to an assumed new build programme of up to 24 GWe and more than 80% is attributable to low heat generating waste.

Over the first 300 years, the total radioactivity in the Inventory for Geological Disposal decreases by about 80%, and by more than 99% over the first 100,000 years.

After a few hundred thousand years, the total radioactivity of the Inventory for Geological Disposal will be dominated by the uranium waste group, with a radioactivity similar to uranium ore.

The 2022 Inventory for Geological Disposal includes provision of civil plutonium stocks. The decision to immobilise these stocks does not fundamentally alter the categories of waste destined for the GDF and does not challenge the generic GDF design and post-closure safety considerations.

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 Burnley College 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 Burnley College 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Health: offering veterans discounted gym/spa memberships to encourage physical activity and positive mental health and well-being; free advice from industry experts to improve and maintain mobility.

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.

Fraud
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-25)

How to avoid fraud and what to do if you suspect it.

Fraud is a deliberate deception intended to make a financial gain or cause a loss.

How to avoid it

Ways to avoid fraud include:
- always following your procedures and the advice in this guide
- keeping good records
- running a transparent buying process where everyone knows what is happening when
- using a selection stage to exclude fraudsters
- researching how much things usually cost before you start
- having an anti-fraud policy
- doing a fraud risk assessment
Things to watch out for:
- price fixing – where suppliers work together to raise prices or decide who gets the bid
- cover pricing – where suppliers send in some excessively high bids to make other bids seem low or because they do not really want the work, but do not want to look unwilling to do work in the future
- overcharging
- charging for work that is not done or not needed
What to do if you suspect it

If you suspect fraud is being committed report it to the appropriate authorities. You may want to stop your buying process too.

Parental leave and pay review
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)

Government review of the parental leave and pay system in Great Britain, co-led by the Department for Business and Trade and the Department for Work and Pensions.

Parental leave and pay entitlements play a key role in the plan to Make Work Pay (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/make-work-pay) by helping parents balance their work and home lives. The review is part of delivering the Plan for Change, linking to 2 of the government missions – to kickstart economic growth and break down barriers to opportunity.

The review will consider how the parental leave and pay system could be improved to better support working families and meet the needs of the modern economy. The government has set 4 objectives against which to assess the current set of parental leave and pay entitlements.

The terms of reference set out the details and scope of the review. The government has also published a call for evidence and a summary of existing evidence. The review will conclude with a roadmap.

There is also a ministerial statement about the parental leave and pay review (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2025-07-01/hcws757).
