Why military service children?

According to the Office for Students, "Children from military families have low participation rates in higher education. Various factors can affect access to higher education among children from military families including mobility, separation, wellbeing and caring responsibilities.".

Military Service Child Report

In collaboration with York St John University, we created a Military Service Child Report. This link will take you to the report.
