Forces in Mind Trust has awarded £249,437 to the University of Winchester, in partnership with King’s College London, to establish the Service Children’s Progression Alliance (SCiP) Impact Centre.
The SCiP Alliance Impact Centre will seek to transform the understanding of activities that support Service children and help equip the community to take evidence-based action.
Service children can benefit from being part of the Armed Forces community but can also face unique challenges due to the impact of Service life. While there is ongoing research into these challenges, colleagues working with Service children need to be supported with the most up to date tools for conducting evaluation and identifying best practice.
The Impact Centre will provide training, evaluation, and policy support to practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and funders. This includes highlighting instances of good practice in identifying what works for Service children. This work will be underpinned by co-production with Service children and their families to ensure that it is accessible by those the work supports.
The SCiP Alliance Impact Centre grant will run for 24 months to July 2027.
