A promise by the nation.
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from
the nation to those who serve. It says we will do
all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and
not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives. This includes offering injured servicemen and women and bereaved families extra support where appropriate.
Explora Security is proud to receive the Ministry of Defence's 2019 Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award for providing ongoing support to the Armed Forces Community.
The Covenant
To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.
It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
We, the people, recognise this duty to you who so bravely do yours.

Commenting on the announcement of the 2019 Employer Recognition Scheme Silver awards, Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace said:
