The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support Defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the Armed Forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.
Below are the organisations which have shown outstanding support for the Armed Forces community and have been awarded the Gold and or Silver ERS Award as a result. Each employer has joined a network of Forces-friendly employers through engagement with Lowland RFCA.
