star this property answer text <p>Since 2011, when the Armed Forces Covenant came into existence in its current form, central and devolved Governments have taken forward many initiatives to the benefit of serving personnel, veterans, and their families. However, we recognise that a clearer public acknowledgement of their role in supporting the Covenant could be beneficial. I have therefore instructed my officials to further explore how central Government and the Devolved Administrations could strengthen their commitment, and to see what more can be done in terms of the Legal Duty. This work will be taken forward over the next year and will also encompass the consideration of widening the scope of the Duty to other policy areas.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Since 2011, the Armed Forces Covenant has been improving service provision to the Armed Forces community across the country. The Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly, wherever they are in the country. Its principles are that members of the Armed Forces community should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services, and that special provision is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most, such as the injured and the bereaved.</p><p> </p><p>The Covenant is deliberately designed to be flexible to ensure the relevant organisations retain the ability to take decisions about service delivery that are right for their local context and circumstances.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government, local authorities, the wider public sector, charities, commercial organisations and civil society all have a role in supporting the Armed Forces community. While this includes support to veterans in the areas of employment, healthcare, housing, education, and financial advice, it is also about recognising how Government can make a positive difference for those in the front line of our nation's Defence. Whilst the Ministry of Defence gave statutory foundation to the Armed Forces Covenant in the 2011 Armed Forces Act, with a requirement on the Defence Secretary to report annually to Parliament, this Government has recognized more must be done to ensure the Armed Forces community suffer no disadvantage. We have therefore committed to the creation of a legal duty to have due regard to the Armed Forces Covenant and are further enshrining it in law to support this.</p> more like this
