We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This tool exists to honour the living — ensuring veterans and employers know their rights and responsibilities.

The Armed Forces Covenant

A promise by the nation that those who serve, or have served, and their families, should be treated fairly and not be disadvantaged because of their service.

Under the Armed Forces Act 2021, certain public bodies have had a legal Covenant duty since November 2022 to have due regard to the Covenant in housing, education and healthcare.

Why does this exist?

Too many veterans leave service without knowing what they're entitled to. Too many employers want to do the right thing but don't know where to start. This tool closes both gaps.
