Valuing Forces
Families Overseas: Focus Group Invitation
RAND Europe has
been commissioned by the Army Families Federation, in partnership with the RAF
Families Federation and the Naval Families Federation, to conduct a study
exploring the experiences of UK military families throughout the overseas
postings cycle. As part of this research, RAND Europe is holding focus groups
with military families who have experience of overseas postings, including
preparing for, undertaking, and returning from an assignment overseas. These
discussions aim to provide an improved and up-to-date understanding of families
lived experiences and the challenges they face at different stages of the
overseas postings cycle.
This research will contribute to the Valuing Forces Families Overseas (VFFO) programme,
