Community covenant
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.
We have signed the Essex Armed Forces Community Covenant. This is a covenant made by public, private and voluntary sectors in Essex. Its aims include:
- raising public awareness of issues affecting the armed forces community
- reducing any disadvantages suffered by armed forces personnel as a result of their service
- recognising sacrifices made by the armed forces
- encouraging activities which help to integrate the armed forces community with the wider community
