Rotherham Armed Forces Community Covenant Group
All the signatories to the Covenant form the membership of the Rotherham Armed Forces Community Covenant Group which meets quarterly to identify key issues affecting the Armed Forces Community. They work together to ensure that any failings affecting the armed forces community are challenged and changed. The Group also works together to develop good practice in implementing the Armed Forces Covenant across Rotherham.
The Covenant Group works from a detailed action plan if anyone would like a copy this can be requested by using the contact us form below:
