Evaluation of the Service Children's Champion role in supporting children from armed forces families

The Service Children's Champion (SCC) role at North Yorkshire Council (NYC), established in 2012, is the only appointment of this type in the country. The aim of this project is to work in collaboration with the SCC to evaluate their unique programme of activities designed and implemented to support children from armed forces families and those working with them. It will provide the data to illustrate the crucial impact of the role and: 1. Support a business case for future funding through the council to make it a sustainable and permanent role at NYC. 2. Inform the development of the programme, tools and processes. 3. Offer other councils’ ideas to support the work they are mandated to undertake for the children from armed forces families. 4. Create a blueprint for the SCC role and evidence for the rationale for the introduction of SCC role in other councils.
