Lifting the Lid on Transition: The family experience and the support they need

Summary: This report adds the families’ voice to an existing transition evidence base and proposes a vision for families in transition: families that are equipped with accurate information and have realistic expectations for life after the Armed Forces; who are empowered to play an active role in their Service leaver’s transition and are able to realise their aspirations for civilian family life. This report is presented in a retention-positive light, seeking to influence policy and service delivery where appropriate.
