About this event

The conference will include a range of speakers, including the Rt Hon Dr Andrew Murrison MP, Minister for Defence People, Veterans and Service Families.

There will also be updates on Veterans ID cards, next steps in communicating the legal Duty of 'Due Regard' to the Serving community and reaching out to LGBT+ Veterans in the wake of the Lord Etherton Review.

We will also be running multiple breakout sessions, discussing how Disadvantage can be prevented in the delivery of Housing, Education and Health public services.

Sessions will also include reflections on a year of the Covenant Duty, the importance of measuring the effectiveness of the Duty, how collating empirical evidence can help inform our collective efforts and to better target effective delivery of the Covenant.

And we are planning to have information stands from third sector organisations.
