The Armed Forces Covenant is a Promise, Not a Policy
As of April 2026, the Armed Forces Covenant continues to stand as the UK’s gold standard for military inclusion. It represents a national commitment to ensure that those who serve, or have served, in the Armed Forces-and their families-are treated fairly in society, with “due regard” for the unique sacrifices of military life.
But for Johnny Timpson OBE and Absolute Military, the Covenant is more than a framework of principles. It is not just policy-it is promise. And more importantly, it is lived experience.
