Supporting All to Thrive survey and art workshops 

The Supporting All to Thrive study will provide a clear picture of the educational outcomes of children from Armed Forces backgrounds who have additional needs and/or disability. 

The study is being led by researchers from Oxford Brookes University, and is guided by a steering group of experts, which includes AFF. It is funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, under the MOD Armed Forces Family Fund Research Programme. 

It is looking into the educational experiences of school-age children with additional needs and wants to find out about your child’s current education, their education over time and your feelings about the educational support your child has had. 

Who is the survey for? 

  • Parents or carers of a child aged 4-18 with additional needs in UK education or in MOD schools overseas; 
  • You can take part whether your child has been diagnosed with additional needs or not; 
  • You can take part if your child is currently out of education for any reason. 
  • It will remain open until 31 December 2024. 

Complete the survey here. 

Art workshops 

The team is also running a series of informal, small group art workshops to give an opportunity to talk about your child’s or your own educational journey. 

Who can take part? 

  • Parents or carers of a Service child aged 4-18 with additional needs. 
  • Recent school leavers aged 16-25 who were Service children with additional needs.
