UK–Turkmenistan partnership advances inclusive English language teacher training
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

Accelerating English Language Learning in Central Asia partners Nottingham Trent University with the Dovletmammet Azadi Turkmen National Institute of World Languages.

Two academics from Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) School of Social Sciences visited Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, from 9 to 15 November 2025 as part of the British Council’s Accelerating English Language Learning in Central Asia (AELLCA) programme which is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

This initiative aims to strengthen English language education across 5 Central Asian countries.

Nottingham Trent University academics deliver a training workshops for teacher trainers.

Under the AELLCA programme Nottingham Trent has been working in partnership with the Dovletmammet Azadi Turkmen National Institute of World Languages (TNIWL), Turkmenistan’s foremost foreign language education and teacher training institute. The focus of the collaboration, which began in 2024, is on embedding inclusive teaching methodologies within the Pre-Service English Teacher Training (PRESETT) curriculum. PRESETT is the university programme that prepares future English teachers before they embark on their careers. By integrating inclusive approaches at this stage, the partnership aims to ensure that new teachers are equipped to meet diverse learner needs, and support pupils with varying abilities and backgrounds.

Dr Sarah Khan from Nottingham Trent University with teacher trainers in Ashgabat.

As part of the visit, the Nottingham Trent team observed English language teaching in 2 secondary schools in Ashgabat to gain insights into classroom practices and learner experiences. They also delivered training workshops for teacher trainers, students and alumni and worked closely with TNIWL colleagues to examine the current PRESETT curriculum and teaching materials and identify areas for improvement.

Dr Sarah Khan from NTU said:

Embedding inclusive methodologies within the PRESETT curriculum is a vital step in preparing future teachers to meet the needs of all learners. Working alongside skilled and enthusiastic colleagues at TNIWL will allow us to co-create curriculum content that embeds inclusive principles and modern pedagogical approaches which will have a lasting impact on English language education in Turkmenistan.

Dr Sarah Khan delivers a workshop at the Dovletmammet Azadi Turkmen National Institute of World Languages .

In addition to producing new teaching and learning materials the partnership is also planning a symposium on inclusive English language teaching to be hosted by TNIWL in March 2026. As part of the project’s aim to strengthen capacity within the teaching staff, earlier this year 14 TNIWL teachers successfully sat the Cambridge English Teaching Knowledge Test.

This collaboration between Nottingham Trent and TNIWL reflects the UK’s commitment to fostering international academic exchange and advancing inclusive education globally.

Low risk waste positions: transport, vehicles, vehicle parts and metal
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-01)

The Environment Agency has provided these low risk waste positions (LRWPs) for waste operations that it considers may be suitable for an exemption.

If the Environment Agency provides a LRWP for an activity, you can carry it out without an environmental permit for a waste operation provided that you meet all the conditions.

The Environment Agency may review its LRWPs. It may decide the activity is no longer suitable for a LRWP or that the conditions need changing. You must regularly check that the LRWP you are benefiting from is still in place.

LRWPs for transport, vehicles, vehicle parts and metal that have been withdrawn

LRWP 44 has been withdrawn. Check if you can follow the regulatory position statement ‘End of life vehicles used for training at educational establishments: RPS 328 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/end-of-life-vehicles-used-for-training-at-educational-establishments-rps-328)’ instead.

Improving the energy performance of privately rented homes
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-07)

We're seeking views on proposals around raising energy performance standards for the domestic private rented sector in England and Wales.

Extension to consultation end date

In the light of COVID-19, we have extended the consultation period to 8 January 2021 to give people more time to respond.

The government has committed to upgrade as many private rented sector homes as possible to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band C by 2030, where practical, cost-effective and affordable.

This consultation sets out a suite of policy proposals towards achieving this. These proposals will bring significant benefits to landlords, tenants and our environment including:
- reducing energy bills and increased comfort for tenants and supporting delivery of our statutory fuel poverty target of EPC C by 2030
- potential property value improvements for landlords
- delivering carbon emission savings over Carbon Budgets 4 and 5, making progress towards our net zero target
We have published a consultation stage impact assessment alongside this consultation.

See the BEIS consultation privacy notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/beis-consultations-privacy-notice/privacy-notice-relating-to-consultation-responses-received-by-beis).

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

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.

Children looked after return: guide to submitting data
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)

How local authorities should collect and submit data for the annual children looked after return (also known as SSDA903).

The children looked after return is an annual statutory data collection for all local authorities. You must complete statutory censuses by law unless there’s a good reason not to.

The data covers the financial year (1 April to 31 March). It records details of:
- every child your local authority looks after at any time during the year
- all young people who are eligible for care leaver support and whose 17th to 25th birthdays fall within the collection period
- information on the health of children who have been looked after continuously for 12 months
- information on adoptions of looked-after children
Under the Children Act 1989 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/41/contents), a child is legally defined as ‘looked after’ by a local authority if he or she:
- gets accommodation from the local authority for a continuous period of more than 24 hours
- is subject to a care order (to put the child into the care of the local authority)
- is subject to a placement order (to put the child up for adoption)
Important dates

2025 to 2026 return
- collection opens Wednesday 1 April 2026
- data loaded by Friday 29 May 2026
- main children looked after data and social worker episodes data submitted by Tuesday 30 June 2026
Submit your data

You should submit your 2025 to 2026 data in XML or CSV format using the ‘CLA 2026 application’. We’ll publish the application before the return opens and notify all users.

See the guide for local authorities (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-looked-after-return-2024-to-2025-guide) for more information on preparing the data.

Rental discrimination: a guide for landlords
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

This guide for landlords explains what rental discrimination is.

The Renters’ Rights Act will change laws about renting and this guidance has been published to help private rented sector landlords and agents prepare. The new rules will apply on and from 1 May 2026.

As a landlord, you will not be able to do anything to make a tenant less likely to rent a property (or prevent them from renting it) because they have children or receive benefits. This is called ‘rental discrimination’.

You could be issued with a civil penalty of up to £7,000 for each offence.

This could include:

withholding information about a property including its availability

stopping someone from viewing a property

refusing to grant someone a tenancy

It will also apply to anyone acting on your behalf, like letting agents, referencing services, friends or family members.

Rental discrimination could happen if someone is looking for somewhere to rent or if a household’s circumstances change during their tenancy.

It will still be rental discrimination if you treat someone unfairly based on something that is not true, for example, if you think someone has children when they do not.

This guidance is for landlords in England. There is different guidance for local authorities (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rental-discrimination-under-the-renters-rights-act-2025).

What counts as rental discrimination

You will not be able to stop someone doing any of the following because they have children or get benefits (or you think they do):

accessing information about the property

viewing a property

renting a property

Accessing information

Information could include:

the availability of the property

the date it becomes vacant

details of the property, such as the size, location or number of bedrooms

Viewing a property

This will include refusing to let someone view the property or knowingly making it difficult for them to view it, such as by offering unreasonable times.

Renting a property

This will include poor treatment to make it less likely for someone to want to rent the property, for example, a rental agreement that puts the tenant at a disadvantage.

Odour management: comply with your environmental permit
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)

What you must do to manage odour when you apply for, change (vary) or hold an environmental permit.

To have an environmental permit (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-an-environmental-permit), you need to:
- prepare a risk assessment and odour management plan for approval, when necessary
- comply with your odour permit condition
- prevent serious pollution
This guidance covers:
- what the law says you must do to manage odour
- how the Environment Agency assesses odour from regulated activities, including permit compliance
- how to carry out an odour risk assessment
- what you must include in an odour management plan
- what serious odour pollution is
- the best available techniques (BAT) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/best-available-techniques-environmental-permits) and appropriate measures for activities that are potentially odorous
Other guidance you need to follow

You also need to follow the general guidance on:
- environmental permitting - the ‘core guidance’ (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environmental-permitting-guidance-core-guidance--2)
- risk assessments for your environmental permit (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/risk-assessments-for-your-environmental-permit)
- control and monitor emissions for your environmental permit (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/control-and-monitor-emissions-for-your-environmental-permit)

This odour management guidance supports the general guidance, which you need to follow as a priority.

You should also check the technical guidance for industry sectors (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/technical-guidance-for-regulated-industry-sectors-environmental-permitting). This may cover the best available techniques (BAT) and appropriate measures for odour control for your sector. If in doubt, this odour management guidance has priority over the sector-specific guidance.

The Veterans Charity
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 The Veterans Charity 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 The Veterans Charity 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
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.

This should include all main and Secondary Processed Products produced by the process. It should include details of all exports, re-exports and all other methods of disposal and account for any goods authorised to be brought forward from a previous accounting period and those that will be carried forward to the next accounting period.

It should include references to all the relevant documentation used to enter and dispose of the goods such as import and export declaration reference numbers.

- trace the IP goods from the moment of entry to the moment of discharge from the procedure

RFIG21030 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Split year treatment: When split year treatment will apply
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


There are 8 sets of circumstances when an individual might meet the criteria for split year treatment for a particular tax year. Three cover situations when an individual might go overseas part way through the tax year, these are Cases 1-3. Five cover situations where an individual might come to the UK part way through a tax year, these are Cases 4-8.

If an individual’s circumstances fall within more than 1 case of split year criteria then the cases must be considered following a priority ordering rule. This determines both the case of split year that applies as well as the date that the year will be split from.

If an individual was resident in the year prior to the tax year in question, and their circumstances for the departure year fall within 2 or more of Cases 1-3:
- Case 1 has priority over Case 2 and 3
- Case 2 has priority over Case 3
If an individual was not UK resident in the year prior to the year in question, and their circumstances for the arrival year fall within 2 or more of Cases 4-8 refer to the table below:

First case applying

Second case applying

Case taking priority

Case 6

Case 5

Case with earliest split year date, otherwise Case 6

Case 7 (but not Case 6)

Case 5

Case with earliest split year date, otherwise Case 7

Two or all of Cases 4, 5 and 8 (but not cases 6 or 7)

-

Case or cases with the same (or earliest) split year date

In relation to split year Cases 4-8, the split year date means the final day of the overseas part of the year for that case. Refer to RFIG21150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig21150)onwards for Cases 4 to 8.
