SCiP Alliance Annual Conference 2020
The SCiP Alliance Conference Online took place on 20 October 2020.
The audience of policymakers, researchers, charities and school, college and university practitioners heard from the researchers behind the Thriving Lives Toolkit and from schools and other stakeholders involved in the pilot. There was also lively discussion on a policy panel and an opportunity to learn more about the context for Service children’s lives and to hear from partnerships working directly with Service children.
The new Toolkit is available here: https://www.scipalliance.org/thriving-lives-toolkit
The event also launched an Online Targeting Tool, funded by 6 Uni Connect partnerships and ABF the Soldiers’ Charity. This tool provides policy makers and practitioners with a clear picture of the number and distribution of Service children by local authority, based on English Service Pupil Premium data. https://www.scipalliance.org/map.
