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 Cumbria CVS 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 Cumbria CVS 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
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.

SPM167500 - Statutory Neonatal Care Pay (SNCP) - general information: Neonatal Care Leave (NCL)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


Employees are eligible to NCL as a Day 1 right. This means the leave is available from an employee’s first day of employment.

For every 7 full consecutive days where the child receives neonatal care an employee is eligible for 1 weeks’ NCL.

The employee will accrue further leave for every 7 full continuous days the baby remains in neonatal care.

NCL provides employees with up to 12 weeks' leave for each child who has been in neonatal care.

The employee can decide whether to take a tier 1 or tier 2 period of NCL, see SPM150200 for definitions of tier 1 and tier 2.

Tier 1

NCL in tier 1 is taken while the child is in neonatal care or in the first week following their discharge.

Leave may be taken as soon as it is accrued when care is ongoing.

If NCL overlaps with any other prebooked parental leave such as Shared Parental Leave, it can be paused to allow the pre-booked leave to be taken.

Any remaining NCL must be taken immediately after the end of the other type of Statutory Parental Leave.

Tier 2

NCL in Tier 2 is taken at any time outside of a Tier 1 period. This is the period when the child is no longer receiving neonatal care.

NCL in Tier 2 must be taken in a single continuous block before or at the end of any other existing parental leave entitlements excluding Maternity and Adoption.

The employee can choose when they want to take their NCL, as long as it is taken within 68 weeks from the date of the child’s birth, provided acceptable notice is given, see SPM150600.

HMCTS management information – reformed services December 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-13)

The management information used by HMCTS to measure the progress of services modernised under the Reform Programme.

The information in these tables covers a range of reformed service components in the criminal, civil, family and tribunals jurisdictions. The management information primarily focuses on the digital uptake, number of applications and user satisfaction of services reformed under the HMCTS Reform Programme.

This edition of Management Information also includes information about calls to HMCTS and paper savings achieved through the Reform Programme.

We plan to publish this management information on our reformed services twice a year with the potential for further metrics and more services being added to the publication over time.

These figures reflect the data held on the relevant case management systems so there are definitional and timing differences from any reference to these services in Ministry of Justice official statistics. Footnotes underneath the tables provide further detail on the services and metric definitions included in the dataset.

Advanced Connectivity Technologies: Market Scoping Analysis 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

A review of the UK telecoms ecosystem and identification of firms aligned to Advanced Connectivity Technologies (ACT).

In May 2025, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned Perspective Economics to undertake a short mapping exercise exploring the size and scale of the UK Telecoms ecosystem. This exercise included a review of the overall telecoms ecosystem, and identification of firms aligned to the field that government has identified as one of its critical technologies - ‘Advanced Connectivity Technologies’ (previously known as Future Telecoms).

This analysis employs a tiered approach, capturing both established telecommunications (typically aligned to SIC 61, with identification of other relevant firms) and firms identified as actively involved in the provision or development of Advanced Connectivity Technologies (ACT). The latter typically encompasses novel evolutions of infrastructure that carry digitised data, such as, photonics, satellite communications technologies, the most advanced 5G wireless systems and other developments bridging towards 6G.

However, there is no clear line that can be drawn for ACT alone so a ‘hybrid’ classification is also applied to identify established firms that also appear to overlap both categories i.e. they develop or utilise Advanced Connectivity Technologies as a proportion of their wider established telecoms activities.

UN Human Rights Council 58: UK Statement on the regulation of neurotech and data and the right to privacy
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-12)

UK Statement at the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the regulation of neurotech and data and the right to privacy. Delivered at the 58th HRC in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr Vice President,

The United Kingdom welcomes the Special Rapporteur’s report. The use of neurotechnology poses both opportunities and risks to the protection and promotion of human rights. It is essential we focus efforts on strengthening the application of existing human rights frameworks to the design, development, and use of neurotechnology.

The UK has data protection regulations which ensure that personal data is processed fairly, lawfully and transparently, with stronger legal protection for the most sensitive information. The UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, has published a report considering the implications of neurotechnology on data protection. This highlighted possible discrimination risks and the importance of ensuring transparency and consent. We will work with the Information Commissioner’s Office to consider whether further protections are required for neurodata under the UK’s data protection regulations.

Special Rapporteur,

How can we increase global cooperation and coordination efforts to ensure both neurotechnology and the rules governing its use are developed in a way that safeguards human rights?
Claire Waxman OBE appointed as Victims’ Commissioner
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-03)

The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice has approved the appointment of Claire Waxman OBE as Victims’ Commissioner.

The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Home Secretary, has approved the appointment of Claire Waxman OBE as Victims’ Commissioner from 1 January 2026 for three years.

The role of the VC is to promote the interests of victims and witnesses of crime and anti-social behaviour, to encourage good practice in their treatment, and to keep under review the operation of the Victims’ Code, which sets out the services victims can expect to receive from the criminal justice system.

Claire Waxman OBE Biography

Claire Waxman OBE is the Victims’ Commissioner for London, and since her appointment by the Mayor of London in 2017 has undertaken an ambitious programme of work. Ms Waxman works alongside victims and survivors, amplifying their voices and promoting their interests throughout the criminal justice journey; ensuring their experiences are used to inform and shape practices, policies, and service provision.

Her achievements in the role include convening London’s first ever Victims’ Summit, the first of three; publishing the Victims’ Code of Practice Review, two London Rape Reviews, and the London Stalking Review; holding a series of roundtables to better understand the experiences of specific groups of victims; and successfully lobbying for key changes to legislation including the Domestic Abuse Act, Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act, and Victims and Prisoners Act.

She recently published the Victim Attrition Review, commissioned especially to better understand when and why victims are withdrawing from the criminal justice process.

Ms Waxman was awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours for services to victims of crime.

This appointment is made by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Section 48 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, and is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments. The appointment has been made in line with the Governance Code on Public Appointments.

The Magenta Book
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-09)

HM Treasury guidance on what to consider when designing an evaluation.

The Magenta Book provides guidance on evaluation in government: its scoping, design, conduct, use and dissemination as well as the capabilities required of government evaluators. It provides guidance on how to incorporate evaluation through the design, implementation, delivery and review stages of policy making. It also explains how results can be interpreted and presented, and what should be considered in this process.

The Book is written for the policy, delivery and analytical professions, all of which are responsible for securing and using good evidence. Evaluation should be built into an intervention’s design and delivery from the earliest stages, increasing understanding of who is affected and in what way.

Along with the Magenta Book, Annex A provides detailed guidance on the range of evaluation methods and there are several supplementary guides to specific types of evaluations that are appropriate for specific contexts. The Analytical Evaluation capabilities framework documents provide guidance on the types of skills government evaluators should have or should try to develop.

STSM012020 - Introduction to Stamp Duty on shares and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT): more about Stamp Duty and SDRT: Stamp Duty - the Adjudication process
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-10)


Adjudication is the only method of obtaining absolute certainty that an instrument has been correctly stamped. It may be requested by any person, and once the process is complete the correctness of the stamping cannot be challenged by anyone, not even HMRC.

The legislation governing the adjudication process can be found at sections 12, 12A, 12B, 13 and 13A Stamp Act 1891. Where a relief from Stamp Duty is to be claimed, adjudication is mandatory. More information on this topic starts at STSM022100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/stamp-taxes-shares-manual/stsm022100). In the vast majority of cases where adjudication is either required or otherwise requested it can be carried out on an informal basis. It is normally the case that HMRC and the person presenting the instrument come to an agreement as to the amount of duty chargeable.

Traditionally, adjudication was confirmed by physically stamping the instrument using an impressed die. Following the introduction of a new method of stamping in 2020 (see STSM011015 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/stamp-taxes-shares-manual/stsm011015) and STSM011015A (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/stamp-taxes-shares-manual/stsm011015a)) the confirmation letter issued by HMRC confirms an instrument has been adjudicated when appropriate.

(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000).

Adjudication is the only route for formal resolution of dispute as to the correct amount of duty to be paid on any instrument. This is covered in full at STSM022020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/stamp-taxes-shares-manual/stsm022020) onwards, but the full process involves the policy team, HMRC Legal Group, and the High Court of Justice.
