The Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report 2024 sets out the major achievements of the Armed Forces Covenant and highlights remaining challenges and new commitments.
The report is a demonstration of all the work that goes into supporting the Armed Forces, both Regular and Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families. It also serves as a spotlight on where more needs to be done, to ensure they do not face disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services, something Government is committed to upholding.
This is the 13th annual report on the Covenant since its introduction as a statutory requirement in the Armed Forces Act 2011. It covers the reporting period from 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024, and is the Government’s annual update to Parliament on delivery against the Covenant (as it applies to Service personnel and their families, the bereaved community, and Veterans and their families).
The report covers actions that the UK Government and the devolved administrations have taken during the reporting period to deliver the Covenant across the UK – in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Full details of Scotland’s support for the Armed Forces community throughout the past year are included in their own annual report.
