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 Pinnacle Chauffeur Transport 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;

Schools holding money on behalf of other schools
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-03)

Information on where schools hold money on behalf of other schools.

There are instances where schools hold money on behalf of other schools as part of a hub or network to carry out projects. This can result in under/over reporting of expenditure items in the CFR return for individual schools within the hub/network. Local authorities should pro rata the funding between the individual schools within the hub/network, to avoid this discrepancy in the CFR returns.

If the situation still arises, the local authority should net off the income and expenditure for schools in this position before they submit the CFR returns to DfE, ensuring that correct income, expenditure and balances are reported for each school.

Please include in the notes section of the CFR returns information about the netting off, which schools this has affected, and how.
Five festive mistakes you didn’t know you were making: 

MHRA urges the public to be merry, not risky – don’t mix medicines with alcohol
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-08)

This holiday season, the MHRA is highlighting one of the most overlooked winter health risks: combining medicines with alcohol.

As festive celebrations get underway, many people reach for both seasonal drinks and common winter remedies – a combination that can lead to dangerous and unexpected effects.

From cough syrups to painkillers, medicines help many of us stay well through the winter. But when used incorrectly, particularly alongside alcohol, even familiar products can cause harm. And with more people socialising, travelling and relying on over-the-counter treatments, the risk of accidental misuse increases.

Leigh Henderson in the MHRA’s Safety and Surveillance team, said:

“At this time of year, people are often taking more medicines – whether for colds, allergies or aches and pains – and may also be drinking more alcohol. The biggest safety risks often come from simple misunderstandings, including not realising that alcohol can interact with certain medicines. By taking a few easy precautions, you can keep yourself and your family safe this Christmas.”

Five festive medicine tips to avoid mistakes:

Don’t mix medicines with alcohol – be merry, not risky: Alcohol can interact with many medicines, even those bought over the counter. Combined with medicines that cause drowsiness or affect coordination, it can increase dizziness, slow reactions and raise the risk of falls and accidents. This doesn’t only apply to driving — using mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs can also become unsafe. Always read the Patient Information Leaflet or ask your pharmacist whether it’s safe to drink while taking your medicine.

Don’t double up on paracetamol: Many cold and flu remedies already contain paracetamol. Taking them alongside painkillers that also include it can lead to accidental overdose.

Don’t take expired medicines: Clear out old or leftover medicines; expiry dates matter. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of them safely.

Don’t ignore the leaflet: Always read the Patient Information Leaflet, even for medicines you’ve used before. Guidance can change, including advice about alcohol interactions.

Don’t share medicines: Never share prescription medicines, even with family. What’s safe for one person may be harmful to another.

And remember to report any side effects or concerns

Most medicines and medical devices work well and safely for most people, but no medical product is risk-free.

If you experience a side effect or have a safety concern with a medicine, vaccine or medical device – including emollient products or oxygen equipment – report it to the MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme. By reporting, you help us monitor product safety and protect others from harm.

If you need medical advice when your GP is closed, you can call NHS 111 for guidance. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Judicial Summary

Its questioning about these irrelevant matters also gave rise to an appearance of bias.

This page includes 2021 to 2022 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:

to protect national security

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

Judicial Summary

The Bereavement Benefits (Remedial) Order 2023 (SI 2023/134) (the 2023 Order) remedied the incompatibility with the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) identified by the High Court (Holman J) in R (Jackson) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2020] EWHC 183 (Admin), [2020] 1 WLR 1441 by providing for cohabiting partners with dependent children to be entitled to Bereavement Support Payment (BSP) on the same basis as couples who are married or in a civil partnership. The 2023 Order had retrospective effect, introducing that new entitlement with effect from 30 August 2018. In this case, the Upper Tribunal decides that the new law only applies to claims made after the date of the coming into force of the 2023 Order on 9 February 2023. Claims made before that date still fall to be determined by reference to the previous rules.

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 SFEDI Awards 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 SFEDI Awards 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
