The Secretary of State for Defence laid the Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report 2019 before Parliament today (20 Dec).
The RAF Families Federation supports RAF personnel and their families on a daily basis, including Covenant-related advice.
Director of the RAF FF said:
“It is really good to see the issues that the RAF Families Federation has raised being clearly reflected in this 2019 report – from dispersed families, to the quality of Single Living Accommodation and the availability/cost of childcare. We are hopeful of more announcements on how the Covenant will support forces personnel and families over the coming year as it is passed into law.”
A snapshot of what the Covenant has achieved in 2019 is shared below:
