The MOD has launched a new online portal to signpost Forces families to information and support that will help them navigate Service life.
The Families Hub, part of the Discover My Benefits tool, is for all serving personnel and families, including reserves and includes links to organisations like the families federations and the NHS, as well as to government pages.
It points users towards help with different areas, from housing and health to childcare, family support and transition to civilian life.
Head of Armed Forces Families and Safeguarding, Nick Pett, said: “One change that you, and your families, have consistently asked for – in surveys such as the Armed Forces Continuous Attitudes Survey, Families Continuous Attitude Survey and Overseas Families Survey – is to improve our communications with you. Our user research also showed that over 90 per cent of Service family members would find it helpful to access information through a one-stop shop platform.”
