Honoured to speak last night at the launch of the Service Children's Progression Alliance Impact Centre. This is an important step in putting evaluation and evidence at the heart of support for Service children, ensuring we understand what works, where gaps remain and how we can deliver better outcomes for those who share the unique experiences of Service life.
