CEREDIGION Council Council have won a Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award for their efforts in ensuring Ceredigion Armed Forces community is supported.

Attending the ceremony in Cardiff were Council Leader Bryan Davies, Cllr Paul Hinge, the member champion for Armed Forces and Geraint Edwards, Corporate Lead Officer for People & Organisation.

The award recognises employers who have actively demonstrated their support for the Armed Forces community through implementing practical policies in the workplace.

Organisations must proactively demonstrate that the Armed Forces community are not unfairly disadvantaged as part of their recruitment policies.

They must also actively ensure their workforce is aware of their positive policies towards defence people issues for Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, and spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.

“On behalf of Ceredigion County Council I would like to thank everyone involved for their continued dedication and hard work within the AFCC of Ceredigion to ensure that the residents of the Armed Forces community are fully supported within Ceredigion,” said Cllr Davies.
