Resources for Educators

If you have a child or children in your school whose parents or siblings are in the military and you would like further information about how to support them, examples of good practice are contained in the resources below.

Many of these resources have been developed as a result of MoD Education Support Funding 2011 – 2018.

If you would like additional information or have an interest in developing materials for your own school please contact the ADES National Transitions Officer by emailing info@forceschildrenseducation.org.uk
