Service families, help us to better understand the needs, wants, and wishes of children, young people, families, and individuals overseas

Ensuring you get the support you need, when you need it

On behalf of the Defence Safeguarding Partnership Board (DSPB), Defence Children Services (DCS) are undertaking a Local Needs Analysis to inform the future delivery of social work, family support and personal support for all children, young people, families and individuals whilst both assigned and accompanying on overseas postings.

We want to ensure that no child, young person, family member or individual is disadvantaged by working overseas, by seeking to replicate early intervention, prevention and support available in the UK. The future services aim to be inclusive, community focused, accessible to all and provide the support you need, when you need it.

To help DCS consider what the support service needs to look like, we need the help of those who we seek to support.

By completing the Local Needs Analysis Feedback Form, which should take no longer than 7 minutes, you can help to shape the future of social care, family support and personal support for you, your family and any entitled individuals overseas.

Please submit your forms by Friday 4th October 2024
