Thriving Lives Toolkit
Helping schools support Armed Forces children
The toolkit is now available online here:
https://thrivinglives.scipalliance.org/
Underpinned by rigorous research and thoroughly tested in school, the Thriving Lives Toolkit provides schools with a framework of 7 principles through which to reflect on their practice and a 3-tier set of CPD resources. The resources in this toolkit have been developed in collaboration with a range of partners across the UK, and consist of:
- an introductory animation;
- a detailed resource introducing the evidence base, what schools can do to support their Service children and who can help and;
- school case studies.
Please click on the individual principles below to find our training modules and case studies.
This toolkit is underpinned by rigorous research.
If you have a question about the toolkit, or need support completing the toolkit, please email SCiPAlliance@winchester.ac.uk. Register for the online version which will allow you have multiple users completing the toolkit together for your school. You can print a report at any time: https://thrivinglives.scipalliance.org/
