Service Children's Progression (SCiP) Alliance

The International Centre for Guidance Studies worked with the Service Children's Progression (SCiP) Alliance in 2018/2019 to develop the Thriving Lives Toolkit through research conducted across a number of schools in England and with several stakeholders groups.

More recently SCiP has secured additional funding to enable the toolkit to be refined for use in Scotland and Wales. iCeGS are once again working with SCiP to understand the contextual differences of working with Armed Forces/Service Children in Scotland and in Wales with a view to ensuring that the Toolkit can be used to maximum benefit there too.

We have been conducting fieldwork with several different schools in Scotland and Wales, and have spoken with stakeholders from relevant third sector organisations such as The Royal Caledonian Trust. Part of this research has included delivering a two-part conference event for schools and other interested parties, in conjunction with SCiP, RCET, Education Scotland and the Association of Directors Education Scotland. The first of these two events introduced the work of SCiP and the Thriving Lives Toolkit. The second looked at how the principles of the Toolkit are being put into practice in Scotland.
