Silver Award in the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme

The Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Silver Award is the second-highest badge of honour available to organisations that employ and support Reservists, service leavers, Veterans and their families.

Each Silver Award winner has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, a commitment to supporting Defence through services, policy and projects.

The employers recognised by the ERS Silver Award have gone above and beyond with their support through engaging with initiatives such as employing veterans, supporting individuals transitioning out of the Armed Forces into a new career and providing flexibility for Reservists with regard to training and mobilisation.

For Tile Cross Academy much of our evidence was from the opportunities we provide through the school’s Army Cadets.
