The Military Corporate Covenant & the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme for business.
C2S has been involved with these schemes for nearly 10 years and we are a Silver Award holder for our advocacy.
Signing the Covenant is a no-brainer and many of the things organisations are doing already and then you can work through the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze – Self certification; Silver awarded Regional and Gold awarded nationally
Here is the Covenant information and the DERS:
