Service children's experiences evolve as they grow. That's why the Thriving Lives Toolkit provides tailored support for different ages and stages throughout their educational journey. Each toolkit reflects the unique opportunities, challenges and priorities of a different phase of education.
New toolkits covering Early Years, Colleges and Universities coming soon.
"We decided to focus on the belonging principle of the upcoming Thriving Lives Toolkit for Universities. Using the toolkit has helped us keep our work focused, providing a clear direction and helping us avoid a broader approach that would have had less impact"
Evidence-based frameworks grounded in the latest research on supporting children and young people from Armed Forces families
