Organisations not fulfilling their pledge can have their Armed Forces Covenant status reviewed.

Concerns should initially be raised directly with the organisation in question, by following their standard complaints process. Complaints that remain unresolved can be referred by the complainant to the relevant ombudsman.

Enquiries and complaints about Covenant signatories can also be directed to the Ministry of Defence via: afcovenant@rfca.mod.uk
