FAQs
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. The scheme encourages employers – particularly those in the private sector - to support defence and inspire others to do the same by upholding the values of the covenant.
The two main principles of the covenant are:
No member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen
In some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
