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 Jorvik Design Group 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

2.2 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.

Partnerships with Azerbaijan and Armenia boosted through Defence Minister Lord Coaker visit
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)

Defence Minister Lord Vernon Coaker visits Armenia and Azerbaijan, boosting defence ties.

- Lord Coaker visited Armenia and Azerbaijan this week with engagements focussed around boosting regional security
- UK opens new Defence Section in Yerevan, Armenia
The UK’s partnerships with Armenia and Azerbaijan were boosted this week as Defence Minister Lord Coaker visited the region to discuss peace, stability and prosperity in the South Caucasus.

The visit by Lord Coaker follows the UK’s commitment in the summer to strengthen our relationships with Armenia and Azerbaijan to Strategic Partnerships, with defence cooperation at the forefront.

Defence Minister Lord Coaker said:

As the threats we face increase, our partnerships are becoming more important than ever. The UK is working with Azerbaijan and Armenia to support peace and prosperity in the South Caucasus.

In an increasingly uncertain world, it is partnerships like these, built on mutual respect and shared values, that will endure.

This year, the UK appointed its first resident Defence Attachés to Azerbaijan and Armenia and announced the full lifting of the UK arms embargo on both countries.

In Azerbaijan, Lord Coaker met with His Excellency President Ilham Aliyev, Minister of Defence of The Republic of Azerbaijan Colonel General Zakir Hasanov, and the Minister of Defence Industry of the Republic of Azerbaijan Vugar Mustafayev. Discussions explored opportunities to further develop the UK-Azerbaijan defence and security partnership.

Lord Coaker attended the graduation ceremony of a British Military Training Course held at the Azerbaijan Army Training and Education Centre. Participants of the intensive four-week course were coached and mentored by British and Czech instructors in accordance with UK’s approach to ‘Defence Train the Trainer Course’.

Lord Coaker also visited the Alley of Martyrs and Commonwealth War Memorial to pay his respects to those killed by the Soviet Army during Black January 1990 and in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War of 1988–1994.

In Armenia, Lord Coaker opened the UK’s first permanent Defence Section in Yerevan, demonstrating the UK’s long-term commitment to supporting Armenia’s security, sovereignty and defence capabilities.

Meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Defence Minister Suren Papikyan, Lord Coaker discussed deepening defence cooperation and supporting Armenia’s defence reform and modernisation efforts.

Lord Coaker also paid tribute at the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Memorial and visited the Vazgen Sargsyan Defence Academy, where he met with military instructors and cadets.

Refugee mental health and employment
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-26)

This report explores the relationship between refugee mental health and their employment outcomes in the UK.

Refugees in the UK face a disproportionately high prevalence of mental health issues and are less likely to be in full-time employment compared to the general population. This research aims to understand the relationship between refugees’ ill mental health and employment outcomes.

The research finds that refugee mental health can be impacted traumatic events, the asylum process, variable levels of housing and financial security, the quantity and quality of social connections, as well as feeling undervalued. Barriers to mental health support include lack of culturally sensitive, refugee trauma-informed care, and limited language support. Poor mental health is likely to extend periods of unemployment and, conversely, positive experiences at a workplace can bolster subjective well-being by facilitating financial security, improved self-esteem, and a sense of belonging. Workplace discrimination and prejudice can also undermine and hinder the potential positive impacts of employment.

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.

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

PEE applies where free circulation goods equivalent to those identified in the SP3 are exported before non-UK goods (SP3) are entered to IP.

The quantity of authorised equivalent goods, contained within the exported product determines the authorisation holders 'duty credit'. The duty credit is offset when the same quantity of non-UK goods are subsequently entered to IP within the 6 month time limit.

(NI ONLY) Council Regulation (EU) 952/2013, Article 223; Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, Article 269

Goods exported under prior export equivalence must be exported under customs control. This provides for the supervising office to monitor exports using equivalence and the opportunity to examine or take samples to verify the equivalence criteria are met.

The replacement non-Union goods will normally be imported from a third country. However, replacement goods can also be taken from customs warehousing, or another IP authorisation holder.
