Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families are treated fairly.

Its two principles 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.

Further information about the Armed Forces Covenant can be found here.

The Covenant Legal Duty toolkit also includes a range of resources such as FAQs, statutory guidance and guides for organisations and the Armed Forces.

Armed Forces Covenant Duty

The Covenant Duty came into effect on 22nd November 2022.

The Armed Forces Covenant Duty is a legal obligation on certain public bodies to pay due regard to the Covenant principles when exercising certain functions.

Public bodies that fall within the scope of the Duty include local authorities and the state-funded schools within them.
