Amenable Staffing Ltd
We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.
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.
Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant
1.1 We Amenable Staffing Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

We also pledge the following:
• We will actively promote the values and achievements of the Armed Forces Community through our communication channels, community engagement initiatives, and internal awareness campaigns. We will encourage our staff and partners to participate in events such as Armed Forces Day and Remembrance activities.
• We will recognise the skills and experience gained in military life and translate them into meaningful roles across our care, administration, and management teams. Where possible, we will provide flexibility for employees who are members of the Reserve Forces to meet their training and deployment commitments.
• We will engage with local Armed Forces support networks, charities, and councils to explore partnership opportunities and provide pathways for veterans and military families into our workforce. We will also include the Armed Forces Covenant in our staff induction and training programmes to raise awareness among all employees.

Further-more, we will promote fair opportunities for Armed Forces–linked enterprises within our supply chain to encourage inclusive economic participation.
• We recognise the importance of both physical and mental well-being for members of the Armed Forces Community. We will signpost staff and their families to relevant support services, including those provided by the NHS, MOD, and local charities specialising in veteran and family support.

We will include veterans within our social value commitments, ensuring they benefit from supported housing, domiciliary care, and community integration projects we deliver.
• We recognise the importance of education and continuous learning in supporting veterans and their families to transition successfully into civilian life. Amenable Staffing Ltd will work in partnership with local colleges, training providers, and Armed Forces charities to provide access to learning, apprenticeships, and vocational skills development. We will encourage the professional growth of ex-service personnel and reservists within our organisation by supporting them with training, mentoring, and personal development opportunities. We will also promote awareness of military service values in our internal training to build empathy, teamwork, and discipline across our workforce.
• Civic responsibilities: As a socially responsible organisation, we will continue to engage with our local communities and uphold civic duties that reflect respect and gratitude to the Armed Forces Community. We will participate in or sponsor local remembrance and veteran support initiatives wherever feasible.
• Any additional commitment the organisation wishes to make: We will monitor and review our progress annually to ensure our pledges remain relevant and impactful. Feedback from veterans, reservists, and other members of the Armed Forces Community will be welcomed to help us strengthen our approach and adapt our practices.
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
