Armed Forces Covenant
North East Lincolnshire have pledged their support by being among the first in the country to sign the initial Armed Forces Community Covenant.
The Armed Forces Covenant is a national promise to ensure that those who serve or have served, along with their families, are treated fairly. The Covenant is not intended to give preferential treatment to the Armed Forces, Veterans, and their families over other citizens, but it aims to ensure they receive fair treatment and are not disadvantaged due to their time in service.
