What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve or who have served, and their families, which says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives.
The Armed Forces Covenant relies on the people, communities, and businesses of the UK to actively support it in order to make a difference. The government is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community by working with a range of partners who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Covenant brings together the government, businesses, local authorities, charities and the public in order to support those who serve.

Overall, JSS sees the Covenant as an important way to recognize the sacrifices and contributions of our armed forces and to ensure that they receive the support and recognition that they deserve.
