Armed Forces Covenant
We have signed a pledge to ensure our military personnel and their families are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.
We currently hold the Silver Award and going forward will soon be applying for the Gold Award.
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve. It says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives. This includes offering injured servicemen and women and bereaved families extra support where appropriate.
To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.
It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
The covenant focusses on helping members of the armed forces community have the same access to government and commercial services and products as any other citizen.
This support is provided in a number of areas including:
Whether you're an employer, a community member, or just want to show your support, why not make enquiries to find out how you can get involved and make a positive impact to our Services community.
The Covenant doesn’t cost you a penny to sign up to but could make all the difference to an ex-serviceman or their family.
Further information about support services available to both serving personnel and their families , and veterans and their families are provided on GOV.UK.
