Covenant, which pledged a commitment to apply for the DERS. The

who have served in the armed forces (veterans) and their
dependants. It aligns with the Armed Forces Covenant which is a
pledge to the Armed Forces Community and their families that they
will be given respect and fairness in the United Kingdom that they
serve. The DERS encompasses Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards for
employers that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to the Armed
