Helping with Deployment Resources
There is a lot of research into the effects of separation and deployment on service children. If you’d like to read some of that research and increase your understanding of the impact separation from a parent can have take a look at the following links:
- RAF Benevolent Fund’s ‘Growing Up in the RAF’ report
- Service Children’s Progression (SCIP) Alliance’s Resources – search by area of interest to find resources relevant to you and your circumstances
- Service Children in state Schools (SCISS) Voice of Schools Report
To really get immersed, if that is your thing, you can search for ‘Service children’ on the Veterans and Families Research Hub and explore related worldwide research
