The Royal Air Forces Association is proud to announce the renewal of its Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award.
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme recognises organisations that employ and support those who serve, veterans and their families.
Nick Bunting, Secretary General and Group CEO of the Association, said:
“To be recognised as supporting our employees, whether they have served, are reservists, cadet instructors or their partner is serving is something we are very proud of. The RAF Association has supported the RAF community for over 90 years and the Employer Recognition Scheme Award is another way we show that unwavering support.”
Silver award holders must show their support in many ways. These include signing the Armed Forces Covenant, proactively demonstrating that service personnel/armed forces community are not unfairly disadvantaged as part of their recruiting and selection processes, employing at least one individual from the armed forces community category their nomination emphasises and providing at least five days of additional leave for reservists.
