Supporting Service Children ‘Achieve Your Potential’
Workshop Leads: Deborah Collier & Anna Bell
This interactive workshop, delivered by University of Lancashire and the SCiP Alliance North-West hub, explores the challenges Service children face across education, health, and transitions. Through anonymised case studies, including examples from the 16–18 age group where hidden needs were missed and learners mislabelled, we highlight the risks of missed SEND opportunities and the importance of inclusive practice. The session also examines military culture and the need for family recognition.
Delegates will consider the vital enrolment question identifying Armed Forces families and explore ways to strengthen communities of practice so Service children and their families are fully supported to thrive.
