Helping you put evidence into practice
Developed through rigorous research and tested in education settings across the UK, the Thriving Lives Toolkit provides an evidence-based framework for educational professionals and providers working with Service children.
"The [Thriving Lives] Toolkit has been so, so helpful for us as reflective practitioners. We have been able to input information into the toolkit and we can celebrate the successes"

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"
