WWArmedALESALES Forces Covenant NEWS Issue 1 - 2021 Armed Forces Covenant across Wales The Covenant is a promise from the nation ensuring that those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces and their families are treated fairly. The Covenant at a local level aims to: ■ Encourage communities to support the Armed Forces community in their areas and to nurture public understanding and awareness among the public of issues a ecting the Armed Forces community. ■ Recognise and remember the sacri ces faced by the Armed Forces community, including an individual’s commitment when serving to potentially be placed in harm’s way. ■ Encourage activities which help to integrate the Armed Forces community into local life. ■ Encourage the Armed Forces community to help and support the wider community, by participating in events and joint projects, or other forms of engagement. The Armed Forces Covenant is supported at a local level by a partnership agreement between statutory, military and voluntary sector agencies who work together to honour and implement the national Armed Forces Covenant. Armed Forces Covenant Training Package The vast majority of the 2.8 million ex-Servicemen and women living in Britain today have successfully adapted to civilian life, putting the skills and experience they acquired while serving in the Armed Forces to good use. However, a signi cant minority can be in need of support either at the point of discharge or many years afterwards. This e-learning has been developed by WLGA. It explains the commitment of the Armed Forces Covenant and how it can be honoured and implemented in the Community. It will help you understand and apply the principles of the Covenant at a local level. It also provides sources of further information and support. www.covenantwales.wales/e-learning/ If you would like bespoke training for your department please contact your Regional Armed Forces Covenant Offi cer Armed Forces Covenant across Wales p.1 16371 Get involved… Veterans’ Gateway Sign �he Co�enant The rst point of contact for veterans seeking support Businesses, charitable organisations and public sector organisations of all sizes who wish We put veterans and their families in touch with the to support Gwent’s Armed Forces Community organisations best placed to help with the information, can join . in signing the Covenant. advice and support they need – from healthcare and housing to employability, nances, personal Each organisation can tailor their own pledge to o er relationships and more. the support they want to provide, each pledge can be unique.

One of the most ethnically diverse of Cardiff's suburbs, with a significant Asian population such as Pakistanis and Indians, Canton has a population just in excess of 13,000. Canton, Cardiff 2 The name (from "St. Canna's Town") refers to the 6th century female saint after whom Pontcanna is also named. Canton, also known as Treganna (tref town + Saint Canna), was a 13th century manor in Llandaff. It became part of Victorian era Cardiff in 1875 [1] . History Middle Ages Canton, or Treganna in the Welsh language, was formed around a 13th century Manor in Cardiff and assumed lands from nearby Llandaff and Leckwith parishes under the stewardship of an Earl (or Baron) de Kanetune, although today the manor comes under the jurisdiction of the Manor of Llandaff. It is believed that Canton is named after St Canna, the holy matron in the Celtic age of Saints, and Canna herself is reputed to have been a relative of King Arthur In 1215 a parishioner called Lucia de Kanetune is recorded as occupying a field ‘near the Earl's wall’.

    Dover District Civilian Military Partnership Board REPORT 2016- 2018

    Dover District Civilian Military Partnership Board REPORT 2016- 2018 “Recognise, Remember, Integrate and Support” Jan 2019 1 A. Introduction The Dover District Community Covenant1 is a voluntary pledge of mutual support between a civilian community and its local Armed Forces community. It is intended to complement, at a local level, the national Armed Forces Covenant2, which outlines the mutual obligations between the Nation, the Government and the Armed Forces. The Dover District Armed Forces Community involves many different client groups - regular and reservist serving personnel, veterans, service leavers, dependants and carers and its level of presence varies greatly across the country. Here in the Dover District, although official figures are difficult to come by, given the significant size of the military footprint in the area over the years, we believe that the Armed Forces community is likely to be large, with many veterans living and working in the area. The Dover District Community Covenant was launched on 4 June 2013 and updated by Cllr Keith Morris, leader of the council on 15 October 2018. ? The government has encouraged Local Authorities and the Armed Forces community to work together to establish a Community Covenant in their area to: Encourage local communities to support the Armed Forces community in their area; Nurture understanding and awareness amongst the public of issues affecting the Armed Forces community; Recognise the contribution made by the Armed Forces community; Remember the sacrifices faced by the Armed

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.

    A Guide for Local Authorities: How to deliver the Covenant in your area The Armed Forces Covenant An Enduring Covenant Between The People of the United Kingdom Her Majesty’s Government –and – All those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown And their Families The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment. Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved. This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant. 1 THE ARMED FORCES COVENANT The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served, and their families, are treated fairly.
