What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
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.
It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
The Principles
- Members of the Armed Forces Community should face no disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services
- Special consideration may be appropriate for those who have given the most, such as the injured or bereaved
