Safesec Group 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, His 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 Safesec Group 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

- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:
-
Promoting the Armed Forces: We actively promote and attend charity events focused on raising money for charitable organisations who support the armed forces. We also intent to hold such charitable events focused on promoting the armed forces, fundraising, and bringing more attention to the networks of people who do the amazing job they do within the armed forces.
-
Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community: We actively employ and seek to employ members and Ex members of the armed forces for various roles within our organisation, including security guards, door supervisors, RST teams and close protection officers. With this, we also support certain individuals by providing training through our training company Safesec Training Ltd, funding license applications and other courses to allow members of the armed forces who are seeking a change in career to pivot seamlessly and assist with the financial burden that sometimes comes with that.
-
Health: We are actively working to obtain partnerships with various mental health charities and organisations across the UK to allow us to help guide those who may need support with their mental health. Safesec Group is run on trust and communication, and we believe that goes far beyond just at work – our team is our family, and we look after each other. We find it difficult to talk sometimes, and want to be able to provide the upmost support for those who need it, when they need it.
-
Housing: In future when our operations expand, we hope to be able to provide certain individuals the opportunity to relocate for work – this could come with long term contracts we are actively seeking to procure, however is still a work in progress.
-
