Defence creates an information sheet for Family Courts about Service life
Defence has updated and shared information with Family Courts to help demonstrate that Service and family life is compatible.
The Army Families Federation
informed Defence of anecdotal feedback from some families of potential
misunderstandings about the nature of Service life when going through
the Family Court system.
As a result of this feedback, Defence
worked with stakeholders across the Family Court systems to produce an
information sheet for Family Court workers.
The
information sheet aims to increase understanding about the working and
living arrangements of Service personnel, and how their families are
impacted. The document also shows the support available for Armed Forces
families to build and maintain a stable life at home.
