Supporting transitions across the UK nations and Overseas

Armed Forces Children's transitions between education systems - An Educators' Toolkit

This toolkit has been developed specifically to help educators support armed forces children's transitions between different education systems.

Using this resource, educators can help children and young people from UK Armed Forces families experience positive transitions and thrive academically, socially and emotionally, wherever they move in the UK or overseas.

It was developed collaboratively by education practitioners and education policy professionals from across Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England. This involved officials from Government Departments, local authority officers, schools and Service charities from across the UK.

While the sections of the toolkit combine to form a comprehensive resource, they are also designed to be accessed independently, allowing users to select and apply the elements most relevant to their specific needs or context. Users will note that there are links to specific resources, which have been selected to complement particular transition activities.

While all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the quality of linked materials, the creators of this toolkit cannot accept responsibility for their contents.
