The military children’s charity, Little Troopers, is celebrating ten years of its ‘Little Trooper of the Month’ award scheme

Established in 2014 to recognise children of our British Armed Forces the charity has awarded medals to 120 children who have been especially brave and resilient in the face of adversity.

The Little Troopers winners are all children who have parents serving in the forces and understand first-hand how challenging life can be growing up with a serving parent. Many of the youngsters have experienced long periods of separation from their serving parent due to deployments and military exercises, as well as frequent house and school moves, on top of other challenging life circumstances at home.

Previous winners have included eight-year-old Rubi Smith from Scotland, who has permanent hearing loss in one ear and has amazed her family by continuing to compete in singing competitions; as well as three-year-old Austin Porter from Chippenham who copes with daily pain caused by chronic pancreatitis and has undergone surgery on several occasions while his Dad has been deployed overseas multiple times.

Under no circumstances are entitled BFB personnel to gift or sell alcohol to non-entitled personnel, there is zero tolerance and disciplinary will be taken against any entitled persons if they are found to be selling or gifting alcohol to non-entitled personnel.

2. Syariah Penal Code Order 2013.

a. Intoxicating Drinks.

(1) 104 (6) Any non-Muslim who sells, advertises, serves, offers, gives as a present or exhibits any liquor or intoxicating drink to a Muslim is guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $8,000, imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or both.

Brunei: Discipline - Muslim Customs in Brunei



DISCIPLINE - MUSLIM CUSTOMS IN BRUNEI 

1. It is against the law of Brunei to: 

a. Give alcoholic beverages to Muslims. 

b. Have sexual intimacy or any other relations with a married or unmarried Muslim woman. 

c. Gamble in public. 

2. If any service person is in contravention of these specific laws of Brunei, he/she will automatically have disciplinary proceedings taken against him/her irrespective of whether the Brunei Government demands his deportation or not.

Brunei: Re-sale of Entitled Tax-Free Items


RE-SALE OF ENTITLED TAX FREE ITEMS

The re-sale of items purchased from the NAAFI retail facility to the local population is strictly prohibited under the Exchange of Notes, between the UK Gov and HM the Sultan. BFB personnel are entitled to tax free goods for their sole consumption or use, this does not extend outside of BFB personnel. Those found selling goods purchased from the NAAFI retail facility will be classed as profiteering from the sale of tax free goods and evading revenue payments. This is not to happen. Disciplinary action may be taken against those found knowingly doing this.

ALCOHOL

1. As a special concession, the sale of the duty free alcohol to a member of the British Armed Forces is permitted in Brunei. Alcohol is to be purchased by entitled personnel only and is for consumption on camp in Messes and authorised Clubs or at home (SFA).

2. It is not for exchange or resale to individuals outside of BFB entitled
personnel. Such actions will only jeopardise the current position and lead to the withdrawal of the privilege entirely. Furthermore, any entitled person found contravening these orders will have their right to purchase alcohol revoked and will face formal disciplinary action.

3. The consumption of alcohol in public places is offensive to local Muslims and has led to a crackdown by local customs officials. Those found in possession of alcohol in local restaurants are in contravention of Garrison Standing Orders and will face formal disciplinary action.

4. Only entitled personnel are allowed to access the bulk (alcohol) store within the NAAFI complex. ID cards showing entitlement to purchase alcohol are to be shown to NAAFI staff. Personnel who cannot produce a valid ID card on request will not be served alcohol. Those failing to show their ID cards will be asked to leave the facility.

Celebrating the exam success of our Defence Children Services schools

Proud GCSE students at St John’s School

Mr Richard Sproson (Head Teacher) and Myles at King Richard School (GCSE student)

Defence Children Services (DCS) schools, which support Service children in education and care, are pleased to share the recent exam success of their pupils.

Defence Children Services schools, which are attended by children while their parents are stationed overseas, have some great news to share…

St John’s School and King Richard School in Cyprus are proud to announce the Summer 2024 exam success of their secondary school pupils. These results represent the dedication, resilience, and hard work of students and staff alike.

Applauding the A Level and BTEC results 

The results for both schools demonstrate improvements for Year 13 students, made up of 17 and 18 year olds. This year, the average A Level grade for both schools is a grade C. While this has been maintained by King Richard School, it is an improvement for St John’s School, which scored an average D grade in 2023.

Similarly, the outcome for Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) students at both schools has increased from last year and is above the average English national score for 2024.

All students at these schools have been successful in securing a place in their further educational choices, with 98% of students getting their first choices.

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: New Trust funding programme dedicated to supporting specific communities of Veterans

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) are proud to introduce the Fulfilling Futures Programme, part of our ongoing rollout of Covenant Fund programme launches.

Based on feedback from the Trust’s consultation findings, this programme has been designed to fund projects to improve the quality of life for Veterans who have experienced significant, negative impact which is evidenced to be related to their experience during Service.

What is the Fulfilling Futures programme all about?

The Trust ran a public consultation in 2023, which identified that one of the key areas to focus on was ‘ensuring our Armed Forces communities are not disadvantaged.’ This new programme will focus on supporting Veterans who have faced significant and evident challenges during their Service, which has created barriers or compromised their ability to have a fulfilling Service experience. The consultation findings are available to read on The Trust website.

Help your child’s school to access Service Pupil Premium funding


Help your child’s school to qualify for the Service Pupil Premium by informing them of your Service status by 3 October 2024.

State schools, academies and free schools in England, which have children of Service families in the school years from Reception to Year 11, can receive Service Pupil Premium (SPP) funding

The Department for Education (DfE) provides extra funding – £340 per pupil – to help schools to support Service children. It is for the school to decide how the money is spent, but support is often provided through pastoral support and can help to mitigate the impact of family mobility or parental deployment. The funding can be used for individual pupils or added to larger support projects.

Service parents are encouraged to inform schools of their Service status ahead of the autumn census deadline of 3 October 2024. You can do this by talking to the headteacher or school administration staff. Without this information, schools will miss out on this additional funding.

Brunei: Use of BFPO to Operate A Business


USE OF BFPO TO OPERATE A BUSINESS

1. Customers who are operating a business overseas for personal gain, are NOT authorised to use the BFPO facilities to forward or receive mail items connected with that business. The MOD pays for the transportation of mail to and from overseas by air or surface means. To allow customers to use the BFPO to operate a business for personal gain would constitute an abuse of public funds.

2. Individuals, who are authorised or choose to operate businesses overseas, are advised to use local civilian post offices to receive or send goods connected with their business, whereby full international rates of postage will be paid.

3. Should a violation of this Guidance & Direction be suspected, the Chain of Command will be notified and disciplinary action may be taken against offenders.
