Description

The Service Children’s Progression (SCiP) Alliance is a partnership focused on improving outcomes for children from Armed Forces families, hosted by the University of Winchester and supported by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The Alliance fosters collaboration through networks and projects, develops evidence-based resources for practitioners, and conducts research to understand and improve the lives of Service children. They also raise awareness of their needs and provide policy guidance to help remove barriers. Ensuring Service children’s voices are heard is crucial to their mission, in line with Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, as emphasized in the 2020 “Listening to Learn” report.

The Thriving Lives Toolkit

Underpinned by rigorous research and thoroughly tested in school, the Thriving Lives Toolkit provides schools with a framework of 7 principles through which to reflect on their practice and a 3-tier set of CPD resources. The resources in this toolkit have been developed in collaboration with a range of partners across the UK, and consist of:

  • an introductory animation;
  • a detailed resource introducing the evidence base, what schools can do to support their Service children and who can help and;
  • school case studies.

Please click on the individual principles below to find our training modules and case studies.

This toolkit is underpinned by rigorous research.
