The AFC is a commitment from the nation to serving personnel, service leavers, veterans, and their families that they should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society that they serve with their lives.
The AFC focuses on helping members of the armed forces community have the same access to government and commercial services and products as any other citizen.
What is Employer Recognition Scheme?
The Employer Recognition Scheme acknowledges employers who have provided exceptional support to the armed forces community, and defence as a whole, by going above and beyond their Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) pledges, especially for Reservists.
Through a three-tier approach of bronze, silver and gold awards, the scheme recognises the different levels of commitment provided by employers.
