Armed Forces Families

Lodged by Fulton MacGregor (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that children and young people in Armed Forces families can face unique challenges in terms of their education and wider health and wellbeing due to high levels of mobility, coping with parental deployment and, once the serving parent leaves the services, the transition to civilian life, and recognises the work undertaken by the Royal Caledonian Education Trust, the Scotland’s Armed Forces Children’s charity, through its national Youth Participation Project, to empower children and young people in serving and veteran families to influence and improve development of services and policies to meet their needs.
