Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme

Armed Forces:
Employer Recognition Scheme

麻豆原创 is committed to supporting our armed forces community and to upholding . (Also known as the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme.)

We signed as a pledge to support service personnel. This means we ensure that all staff and student members of the armed forces - including veterans, reserves and their families - are treated fairly and are not disadvantaged, as outlined in our .

Supporting the Armed Forces

In 2016 Professor Seaton, former Vice Chancellor of Abertay, signed the pledge witnessed by Major General Nick Ashmore OBE, the Army鈥檚 senior officer in Scotland. Professor Seaton confirmed our commitment to the Armed Forces community.

'Abertay is proud to sign up to the covenant to pledge to support members of the armed forces within the University community.'

The Armed Forces Covenant

We have been awarded the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Gold Award due to the initiatives we run to support members of the Armed Forces community here at Abertay.

This includes:

Engagement and outreach
Creative Forces Day
Armed Forces Day Celebrations

Community activities

We run a range of activities to support the Armed Forces community within our wider access and outreach work.

Creative Forces Day

We hold a Creative Forces Day welcoming pupils aged 14-18 from forces families. This helps to inspire service family children to carry on into higher education after leaving school.

Armed Forces Day Celebrations

We celebrate Armed Forces Day particularly to celebrate the contributions that staff and students make in their Reservist and Cadet Instructor roles.聽

Our Veterans Champion

Our Armed Forces commitments are championed through a developing cross-University approach, bringing together colleagues and partners to support and deliver activity across Abertay. This reflects our ongoing commitment as an Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award holder and our focus on embedding support across the institution.
