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 Sphere Solutions Limited 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 Sphere Solutions Limited 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

- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill:  impact assessment - RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

The RPC's opinion of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology 's impact assessment for the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill, introduced in the House of Commons on 12 November 2025

The Bill makes provision about the security and resilience of network and information systems, to enable the Government to respond to new and emerging cyber threats, and to update the UK’s only cross-sector cyber regulations - The Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018 - by bringing more entities into their scope and equipping regulators with proportionate powers to fulfil their duties better.

The reforms are intended to protect the services and other activities that are essential to the day-to-day functioning of society in the UK, and the economy, through safeguarding the systems that allow computers and other devices to communicate with each other.

The impact assessment (IA) (https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/59-01/0329/impact_assessment.pdf) outlines the problem under consideration, explaining how cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, while the current legislation (NIS Regulations 2018) is considered to be outdated. The IA includes evidence of the problem, referencing the number (and case studies) of significant cyber incidents, and the associated losses faced by businesses, and critical suppliers to essential services, like the NHS.

The IA presents an equivalent annual net direct cost to business (EANDCB) figure of £137.7 million. This consists of the costs for businesses to comply with the measures, including one-off familiarisation costs, additional physical security costs, contract change costs and cyber security costs. These costs will be incurred by newly-regulated entities, including managed service providers, data centres, and large loads controllers. All businesses in scope of the legislation (including those that are currently regulated under the 2018 NIS regulations) will also incur incident reporting costs. The IA states that, despite the negative EANDCB figure, the preferred option (primary legislation) is expected to have a positive impact on business due to the significant non-monetised benefit from the prevention of cyber attacks. The IA explains that the improvement in security would benefit the UK’s economic prosperity and output.

The Regulatory Policy Committee has rated the IA as fit for purpose; green-rated.

Information about the CMA’s work in the funerals sector, to help professionals working in it to comply with the Funeral Market Order.

The CMA exists to promote a fair and competitive environment, where businesses and the UK economy thrive, and consumers can be confident they are getting great choices and fair deals.

In 2020, we published a final report (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/funerals-market-study#final-report), marking the end of our market investigation into funeral services. In this report, we identified some concerns with the market, including around pricing and transparency. Following this, the Funerals Market Investigation Order 2021 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/funerals-market-investigation-order-2021) introduced a range of legal obligations on funeral directors and crematorium operators to tackle those problems.

If you work in the funerals sector, take a look at the information and resources below and make sure you understand how to be compliant with the Order.

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 Rowe IT Limited 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 Rowe IT Limited 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
- 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.

Small Island Developing States: vulnerability note 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)

This information note sets out the vulnerabilities Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have to manage and overcome, and ways they can improve resilience.

The UK and the international community have recognised that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a special case for sustainable development due to their combination of vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities come from SIDS’ structural characteristics of low economies of scale, remoteness, and environmental risks, and they affect SIDS’ opportunities to secure external financing. The climate crisis exacerbates SIDS’ economic and social vulnerabilities.

While there are many ways to measure vulnerability, most SIDS rank as highly vulnerable across different indicators (consistently more so than countries at a similar income level).
