As signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have made a commitment to support the Armed Forces Community. As part of the Covenant, we recognise the contribution that Service personnel, both regular and reservist, veterans and military families make to us, our community, and the country. Our Covenant commits us to upholding its two key principles: members of the Armed Forces Community should not face disadvantages arising from their service in the provision of public and commercial services; in some circumstances special provision may be justified, especially for those who have given the most, such as the injured of bereaved.
