Innovative e-learning for ex-Armed Forces personnel and their families

Warwickshire County Council, on behalf of the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Armed Forces Covenant Partnership, has launched an innovative e-learning resource for those who are leaving, or have recently left, the Armed Forces and their families.

This training programme helps in the process of adjusting to life outside of the Armed Forces.  It addresses issues that are commonly experienced within the transition and adjustment process such as acquiring accommodation, employment, health as well as personal and family adjustment.  It also raises awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant and the support that exists for veterans and their families.

The free resource has been funded by Warwickshire County Council and the MoD Covenant Fund and created in collaboration, by the Armed Forces Covenant Team within the Council and with ex-serving personnel, Naval, Army and RAF Families Federations and organisations within the local partnership.

The e-learning is available on the Armed Forces Covenant website. From here, individuals will be able to work through different aspects of the module such as housing, employment and adjusting to civilian life.

We would encourage staff in schools to share the link to this e-learning with any families who they think may benefit.
