Supporting Service children with additional needs to thrive
Workshop Leads: Dr Claire Lee & Alison Cotton
This workshop shares findings from the Supporting All to Thrive (SATT) project, funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust under the MOD Armed Forces Family Fund Research Grant programme. The study explored the educational opportunities, outcomes and experiences of Armed Forces children with additional needs. Responding to the theme “whole person, whole journey,” we examine what it takes for these children and families to thrive within complex, often siloed systems. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data, we present analysis of the National Pupil Database, our survey and art-based research with parents across the UK. Delegates will reflect on implications and consider steps for more joined-up practice.
