Service families - help us to better understand the needs, wants, and wishes of children, young people, families, and individuals overseas
Service families, have your say!
Defence Children Services (DCS) has responsibility for the functions, in support of service families related to education and care, previously undertaken by Defence Children and Young People (DCYP). DCS provides a single focus for all issues related to Service children and young people, providing high-quality education at 22 schools and settings in locations around the world. DCS also directly supports Service families, providing advice on a wide range of educational, safeguarding and social care matters both overseas and in the UK.
On behalf of the Defence Safeguarding Partnership Board (DSPB), 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.
The existing social work and personal family support is provided through a contracted provision by British Forces Social Work Services (BFSWS) who seek to replicate UK (English) “statutory type social care support”. The DSPB wish to consider alternative delivery models to focus on early intervention, prevention and family/individual support, still ensuring the safety and protection of our most vulnerable individuals.
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.
Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: New Trust funding programme dedicated to supporting specific communities of Veterans
Based on feedback from the Trust’s consultation findings, this programme has been designed to fund projects to improve the quality of life for Veterans who have experienced significant, negative impact which is evidenced to be related to their experience during Service.
What is the Fulfilling Futures programme all about?
The Trust ran a public consultation in 2023, which identified that one of the key areas to focus on was ‘ensuring our Armed Forces communities are not disadvantaged.’ This new programme will focus on supporting Veterans who have faced significant and evident challenges during their Service, which has created barriers or compromised their ability to have a fulfilling Service experience. The consultation findings are available to read on The Trust website.

Blackpool: Monster Hunt 28th October - 3rd November
Monster Hunt Blackpool
by Visit Blackpool
Be prepared for the ultimate invasion as a collection of giant inflatable monsters take over Blackpool’s rooftops this autumn.
The Monster Hunt between October 28 and November 3 will be one of the big attractions in the resort’s extensive Halloween By The Sea celebrations.
The hilarious monsters will form a spectacular, family-friendly trail between the Golden Mile and nearby town centre throughout the day and also during the evening when they will be illuminated to glow in the dark. Your job is to hunt them down!
The monsters have been created by the renowned inflatable design company, Designs In Air, who have worked for major clients including Glastonbury, Cirque du Soleil and New York Aquarium.
One of their design artists, Filthy Luker, said: “Our motive is to make the world a softer, more surreal and colourful place as a kind of vendetta against the mundane, concrete world we live in.
“With the element of surprise as a shock tactic, our giant pop-up artworks spice up the norm and disrupt skylines. They are instantly seen and enjoyed by everyone who passes by – it might not be high art, but it is definitely high UP art!”
Wh o are the monsters and where can you find them? All will be revealed in the coming weeks when you will be able to download a Monster Hunt map or collect one at the Tourist Information Centre opposite The Blackpool Tower.
The Monster Hunt is fully funded and supported by the UK Government through its Shared Prosperity Fund.
Monster Hunt, which is a free event with no tickets required, is just one of the resort-wide Halloween activities scheduled in Blackpool. The Halloween By The Sea programme also includes:
Journey to Hell at Pleasure Beach Resort; Pumpkin Festival at Ridgeway Farm; Halloween Tails at Peter Rabbit Explore & Play; Circus of Horrors at The Globe; Sweeney Todd at Winter Gardens, a spooky Halloween projection on the Tower building; and many more activities will be revealed over the coming weeks.
