Benefits of Partnering with Defence
In addition to employing reservists and utilising their world class training there are other exciting ways Partnering with Defence can be mutually beneficial .
Businesses , charitable and public sector organisations of all sizes can take a significant step in enhancing their relationship with Defence by committing their support and signing the Armed Forces Covenant ; a pledge where YOU decide how you want to support the Armed Forces community through your covenant .
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 .
The Armed Forces Covenant sets out a view of the desired relationship between the government , the military and broader society .
The Covenant is a 3-way arrangement , founded on the premise that , in addition to the government , the nation , has a moral obligation to members of the Armed Forces , past and present , and their families .
