South Tyneside Council

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The South Tyneside Armed Forces Community Covenant is a voluntary statement of mutual support between a civilian community and its local Armed Forces community.  It commits the borough to key principles, which are that service personnel, veterans and their families should:

• not be at a disadvantage when they try to access public services such as education, employment, housing, or health care
• be given special consideration where appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most, such as the injured and the bereaved.
