Local Skills Improvement Plans and Employer Representative Bodies
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

Key information on the development, implementation and review of Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) and how to get involved.

Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs), which have a statutory footing under the Skills and Post 16 Education Act 2022 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2022/21/contents), unite employers, strategic authorities, higher education, further education and Independent Training Providers and wider stakeholders in solving local skills challenges together.

The output is a plan with agreed actions that will drive change and support the development of the skilled workforce our economy needs. LSIPs support the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/post-16-education-and-skills-white-paper) vision for a world-leading skills system and help to deliver the aims of the Industrial Strategy and the Government’s Plan for Change in every area of the country.

Each plan is led by a designated Employer Representative Body (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/designated-employer-representative-bodies/notice-of-designated-employer-representative-bodies) (ERB) who has consented to Terms and Conditions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/designated-employer-representative-bodies/terms-and-conditions-of-designation) working with Strategic Authorities (where they are in place). The development of a new cycle of LSIPs - due for approval by the Secretary of State and publication in Summer 2026 to replace the existing LSIPs - is currently underway. The process is supported by updated Statutory Guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-skills-improvement-plans), which sets out Government’s expectations for the plans, including the new stronger role for Strategic Authorities and the importance of higher education institutions being fully engaged.

Employers, higher education, further education and Independent Training Providers, and any other stakeholders with an interest in skills are encouraged to make contact with the designated ERB that is responsible for the local plan.
Accelerating AI adoption in the Civil Service
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)

The Open Innovation Team is offering new services to help civil servants use AI to solve problems and do their best work

The Open Innovation Team (OIT) has launched the AI Adoption Accelerator - a practical, people-first programme that helps civil servants turn curiosity about generative AI into safer, faster and higher-quality ways of working. Rooted in our experience of delivering more than 150 policy projects for departments since 2016, the Accelerator combines expert guidance with hands-on coaching so teams can adopt AI responsibly and build lasting capability.

Why now?

Civil servants are experimenting with AI, but without structured support many see patchy results, new security risks and concerns about deskilling. By showing officials how to test AI on their real tasks - and how to judge its output critically - we bridge the gap between enthusiasm and reliable delivery.

What we offer

Our modular support can be booked individually or as a package:
- Planning and strategy – senior workshops to set clear guard-rails, align tools with priorities and address obstacles.
- Hands-on support – facilitated sessions where teams practice prompting on live cases and refine workflows.
- Resources and tools – practical guides covering effective prompting, stakeholder analysis and safe data handling.
- AI Pioneers bootcamps – two-day intensive sessions that train internal champions to support colleagues long after we leave.
Early results

Discovery workshops with the Department for Education have already boosted confidence and identified tangible use cases for policy and operations. Alice Douglas, Deputy Director for Support and Rewarding Teachers and Leaders, said:

The workshop was well tailored to our work, with examples that rang true and reflected day to day tasks. We all learnt a huge amount both about the possibilities but also the risks and how to put guard rails around our AI use.

If you’re interested in exploring how AI could help your team work more effectively, see Accelerating AI in the Civil Service (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/685c2b4e7d72089d19976152/Accelerating_AI_adoption_in_the_Civil_Service.pdf) (PDF, 791 KB, 14 pages)

The Companies (Directors’ Remuneration and Audit) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-27)

These regulations were laid before Parliament on 3 April 2025 and came into force on 11 May 2025. The regulations will remove certain over-lapping requirements from the directors’ remuneration reporting framework, and also clarify certain powers of the UK audit regulator.

This statutory instrument (SI) will remove certain EU-origin directors’ remuneration reporting requirements on UK listed companies, which overlapped with pre-existing and continuing UK requirements.

A short additional (non-statutory) guidance note covering certain timing and other matters relating to these changes is attached (full details of the changes are set out in the explanatory memorandum).

In respect of the powers of the audit regulator, the regulations clarify certain powers in relation to overseas audits involving non-UK companies and their auditors.

The regulations also introduce a discretionary exemption from the prohibition of certain non-audit services. The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has now issued guidance on how applicants can request its agreement so they can take advantage of the exemption. The guidance is available by downloading the Exemption Application Process document (PDF 173KB) (https://media.frc.org.uk/documents/Exemption_Application_Process_Audit_Tendering_by_Statutory_Auditors_Providing_Prohibited_Non-Audit_Services_to_a_Public_Interest_Entity.pdf).

This exemption will be granted in exceptional cases, so an audit firm providing relevant non-audit services to a public interest entity will be able to tender for the audit of that entity. Details of applications received, and exemptions granted, will be published on the FRC’s Processes in Relation to PIE Audits webpage (https://www.frc.org.uk/library/standards-codes-policy/audit-assurance-and-ethics/processes-in-relation-to-pie-audits/).

Major boost to economy through wedding law reform
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-02)

In the biggest overhaul to marriage law since the 19th century, reforms are set to give marrying couples greater freedom and boost the economy by £535 million.

Marrying couples to gain freedoms to get married in new locations – from beaches to castles

Reforms to deliver £535 million injection into the economy creating up to 12,000 jobs

Part of Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth

Marrying couples to have more freedom over how they say ‘I do’, with reforms allowing them to get married on beaches and at heritage sites.

Announced today (2 October), it is estimated that the biggest overhaul to marriage law since the 19th century could also open up 12,000 jobs and add over £100 million to the public purse.

The reforms will give couples more choice in how they get married, making the process simpler, fairer and less costly, while ensuring the dignity and integrity of marriage is protected.

Under the reforms, couples will be able to marry in a wider range of locations provided venues meet strict standards of being appropriate and dignified.

These changes will mean marriage law reflects modern Britain, making it more straightforward for couples to have legally binding religious ceremonies - including Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu weddings - and allow non-religious groups, such as Humanists, to conduct legally binding ceremonies for the first time.

This will also be a significant boost to the economy as it is estimated the reforms could lead to a 3% increase in weddings in England and Wales, adding £535 million to the economy over the next 10 years, supporting 1,800 more businesses and delivering on the Plan for Change to kickstart growth.

Minister for Family Law, Baroness Levitt KC said:

Marriage is one of our country’s most celebrated traditions and our plans will allow couples to have the wedding day of their dreams.

Our reforms will protect the solemnity and dignity of marriage while providing more choice for couples and unlocking untapped opportunities for the economy.

Minister for Victims and Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls, Alex Davies-Jones said:

Mine and my husband’s wedding day was incredibly special – personal, meaningful and an unforgettable celebration of our love. Every couple deserves the same.

Our wedding laws should match our country’s needs. These vital reforms will mean couples from all walks of life can celebrate their commitment without outdated restrictions getting in the way.

The reforms announced will see regulation of weddings shift away from buildings and onto the officiants running the ceremony, offering couples greater freedom to shape their big day.

ENDS

Further information:
- Planned changes follow Law Commission recommendations from July 2022 to modernise marriage law and break down unnecessary barriers to weddings for engaged couples.
- The Government will undertake a consultation early next year.
- Legislation to reform marriage law will be introduced when parliamentary time allows.
UK welcomes US and Ukrainian work towards a just and lasting peace and underlines continued support for Ukraine against Russian aggression: UK statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Ambassador Holland welcomes the meaningful progress between the US and Ukraine on delivering a just and lasting peace.  Ukraine has consistently demonstrated its commitment to peace, while Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities, even while talks on peace are taking place. The UK will continue to stand by Ukraine.

Thank you, Mr Chair. The United Kingdom welcomes the joint statement issued by the US and Ukraine following their highly productive talks over the weekend in Geneva aimed at ending Russia’s illegal war of aggression.

The UK is wholeheartedly supportive of the talks and will continue working with the US, Ukraine and our European partners to deliver a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. As my Prime Minister said earlier this week, both of those words - “just” and “lasting” - are important.

Ukraine has consistently demonstrated that it is the party of peace. President Zelenskyy agreed to a full unconditional ceasefire in March and made clear his readiness to meet President Putin in a neutral venue. They have engaged constructively and with sincerity in US-led peace efforts from the beginning.

In contrast, while the latest round of talks was taking place, Russia was raining down drones and missiles on Ukrainian cities. On Sunday night Russia attacked Kharkiv with a massive drone attack which struck residential buildings, powerlines and an educational facility. Four people were killed. The following night, Russia used 460 drones and 22 missiles to attack Kyiv, killing at least six people and injuring 12 more.

Russia knows that its position is absurd: to claim that it is serious about peace talks while maintaining its maximalist terms and attempting to bomb Ukraine’s civilians into submission. For this reason, it uses its disinformation campaign to divide and deflect with nonsense claims about other government’s approach towards peace talks.

The UK position is clear. We believe that the future of Ukraine is for Ukrainians to decide. For any deal to provide a just and lasting peace, it will need to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and security; uphold the principle that borders should not be changed by force; and ensure robust security guarantees are in place to prevent future Russian aggression.

In the meantime, the UK will continue our support for Ukraine and help ensure that they have the military equipment that they need to defend themselves from Russia’s continued aggression, whilst sustaining economic pressure on President Putin to bear down on the revenues that are funding the war.

Thank you, Mr Chair.

Energy Efficiency Scheme Evaluation 2024/25
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)

An evaluation of the Energy Efficiency Scheme, part of the wider 2023 VCSE Cost of Living Programme.

In 2023, the UK Government announced the VCSE Cost of Living (CoL) Programme, a £101.5m support package provided by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to help frontline delivery organisations with cost of living challenges. Part of the support package was the Energy Efficiency Scheme (EES), a £25.53m scheme to support voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations with their energy efficiency.

The scheme ran from December 2023 to July 2025 and supported organisations with independent energy assessments (IEAs) to identify energy-saving opportunities and capital grants to fund the recommended measures. The scheme was administered by Groundwork UK working with Groundwork Trusts, Energy Saving Trust, Centre for Sustainable Energy, Locality, and Social Investment Business.

The evaluation of the EES was undertaken by Ecorys UK in partnership with Dr Sam Hampton, Dr Katherine Sugar, and Professor Dan van der Horst.

The aim of the evaluation was to understand:

How both the IEAs and capital grants were delivered;

What the outcomes and impacts were for IEA recipients and capital grant holders; and

The expected economic costs and benefits of the EES.

The evaluation took a mixed-methods approach, including analysis of management information, interviews with programme partners, independent energy assessors and VCSE representatives, two online participant surveys, and Bayesian Process Tracing as the theory-based approach to assess the impacts.

The report sets out key process evaluation findings and early insight into the impact and value for money of the fund. Some of the early insights from the evaluation were:

The EES helped funded organisations to improve their knowledge of energy efficient practices;

Capital measures were expected to reduce future energy consumption;

Capital measures were expected to lead to energy bill savings and research participants anticipated that these savings would subsequently be redirected to service delivery; and

Most research participants representatives expected the capital measures to support their organisation’s financial resilience and service delivery.

The evaluation originally ran from November 2023 to March 2025. Further impact and value-for-money evaluation is underway until March 2026. A final impact and economic evaluation report will be published in 2026.

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.

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

There is still much more to be done to address accelerating climate change impacts: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

Statement by Ambassador Archie Young, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on climate and security.

Since the first Security Council discussion on this topic in 2007, there has been real progress in tackling climate change, in tackling nature loss, in adapting to climate impacts and in integrating peace and security into those efforts. But there is still much more to be done.

Climate change is accelerating: intensifying extreme weather events, disrupting ecosystems, threatening lives and livelihoods. We see this in all corners of the globe.

These impacts bring extreme and slow-onset devastation and degradation: not just the droughts and floods we see on the news, but the long-term food insecurity, water scarcity, loss of homes, in turn driving displacement and fuelling tensions.

These impacts are most severe in places that are already vulnerable, compounding and exacerbating existing fragilities. Pushing communities into cycles of displacement and violence. With women and children often the most affected.

As we’ve heard today very clearly, conflict in turn compounds the climate crisis: destroying ecosystems and infrastructure, weakening institutions, diverting resources away from climate resilience.

And just as the challenges are interrelated, so too are the responses. That means three priority actions:

First, strengthening analytics and early warning systems to better anticipate climate-conflict risks, where these contribute meaningfully to peace and security outcomes. This is why the UK is supporting initiatives like the UN Complex Risk Analytics Fund.

Second, ensuring the UN integrates climate risk assessments and environmental stewardship into its operations on the ground, especially in peacekeeping missions. The UK welcomes the role of the Climate Security Mechanism (CSM) in supporting the UN system in driving these efforts forward. We also welcome the efforts of some peacekeeping missions to use renewable energy, limit their environmental footprint, and strengthen local resilience, which in turn empowers local communities and equips them for the future.

Third, mobilising funding from all sources to address climate and nature risks to build sustainable peace. Since 2011, the UK’s International Climate Finance has not just helped reduce emissions, it has also supported 137 million people cope with the effects of climate change, given 89 million people improved access to clean energy, improved the resilience of 33 million people, plus many more through technical assistance. And by doing so, it has helped to address the drivers of conflict around the world.
STATS19 collection and use: impacts of the 2024 specification
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

This report summarises the impact that the transition to the 2024 STATS19 specification has had on providers collecting data in this format.

This guidance relates to the reporting of variables within the STATS19 road collision data collection that have either been introduced or changed as a result of the 2018 STATS19 review. It provides an initial indication of some of the impacts of the transition to the new specification which resulted from this review.

Currently some forces are still recording data in the old 2011 specification, while others have move to the new specification, and the initial impact of this transition is outlined in this report. This analysis should therefore be treated as indicative, and something that will be further developed as more forces adopt the new specification.

Drug-related law enforcement activity and serious violent crime
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

This report presents the findings from a systematic literature review on the impact of drug-related law enforcement activity on serious violence and homicide.

This research systematically reviews the literature in English, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese on the impact of drug-related law enforcement activity on serious violent crimes between 2011 and 2024.

This report examines the evidence on 8 types of law enforcement activities across the globe:
- selective enforcement
- leadership removal
- removal of a drug-trafficking-organisation member
- arrests or charges
- illegal crop eradication
- drug seizures
- military interventions
- multijurisdictional anti-drug coordination and resourcing
It also explores factors that may help or hinder such activities to reduce violence.

Overall, the evidence suggests that drug-related law enforcement activities has limited success in reducing violence. However, due to a lack of UK-based evidence, no firm conclusions can be made about the impacts in the UK. Future research could focus on interventions that may reduce violence, such as selective enforcement, and if the findings would apply in the UK.

This research was commissioned by the last Conservative government, and prior to 5 July 2024.

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 ARK Security 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 ARK Security 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 Cadets
- Armed 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.
