Issue - meetings

To update Committee on progress and seek approval for the new Armed Forces Community Covenant Action Plan. 

Members were updated with progress for the new Armed Forces Community Covenant Action Plan.

The Covenant sets out a framework for how the veterans Community can expect to be treated.  The Armed Forces Community includes regular personnel, reservists, veterans and families and the immediate family of service personnel who had died.

Construction had started on the veteran’s accommodation that would be completed later this year. The Authorities recruitment policy had also been amended to ensure veterans that meet the essential criteria would be guaranteed an interview. This scheme was being promoted through veteran’s networks.

RESOLVED that the new Armed Forces Community Covenant Action Plan 2021/23 be approved. Progress was noted.
