About the º£½Ç»»ÆÞ Armed Forces Covenant
Ensuring those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly.
is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or 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.
Its two aims are that, recognising the unique obligations of, and sacrifices made by, the Armed Forces:
- 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
