Armed Forces Covenant
The Armed Forces Covenant is there to make sure that those who have served get fair access to services. We signed the Covenant in 2011.
The Covenant is there to help:
- people currently serving in the Armed Forces (whether Regular or Reserve), and their families
- veterans and their families
- bereaved family members
- cadet adult volunteers
Services include:
- education
- housing
- health care
- mental health care
- jobs
- welfare
