Welsh Government Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report 2019

Abstract: In May 2018, as a Government we launched our first Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report. We did this because we felt it right that we outline the work being undertaken in Wales, our ongoing commitment to support the Armed Forces community and the huge contribution they make to our communities. The document was laid in the Senedd for the people of Wales to assess and scrutinise. It also identified key commitments for 2019/20 that the Welsh Government and our key partners would take forward. We are pleased to see that significant progress has been made on all of those commitments, and many new ones too. However, there is always more we can do. We will continue to promote the skills and experience of our Armed Forces community, to ensure they are able to maximise the use of the skills they have gained when they re-enter civilian life.
