Summary of Our Key Recommendations to the UK Government
Strengthen the Armed Forces Covenant Duty to include UK and devolved governments and cover all policy matters
Ensure all public bodies ask individuals whether they or an immediate family member has served in HM Armed Forces. This must be recorded and published to understand needs and provide appropriate support
Ensure that military compensation is never treated as an income source by means tests for welfare benefits.
Introduce a national protocol to provide consistent access to public services for Armed Forces families, and increase SEND support funding for service children.
Remove barriers for families of non-UK service personnel to stay in the UK, waiving fees for Indefinite Leave to Remain and the Minimum Income Requirement.
Write to your local elected member to urge them to support these recommendations.
