Positive Futures: Getting Transition Right in Scotland – Housing: Making a Home in Civilian Society

We have seen an improvement across many aspects of transition in recent years – including housing, which presents some unique challenges – but we are still not getting it right for everyone. We need to act now to build on improvements, especially for those vulnerable to a failed transition, who risk entering a cycle of homelessness and the knock-on effects of that. For most that’s entirely preventable.

Scottish Veterans Commissioner – Transition in Scotland

In Scotland approximately 1800 men and women complete their military service and settle – many with their families - in our communities every year. As Scottish Veterans Commissioner, I have been asked by the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for veterans, Keith Brown, to investigate how this diverse group prepare for, and cope with, transition using the recent studies by Lord Ashcroft, Forces in Mind Trust and others as a baseline.

I'm delighted to feature on the latest episode of ‘From Combat Boots to Business Suits’, where I discuss my journey from military service and medical discharge to becoming Scotland's Veterans Commissioner. We explore the opportunities and challenges faced by veterans, the importance of supporting successful transition, and why employers should recognise the valuable skills and experience the ex-military community brings to the workforce. 

If you're a veteran, service leaver, employer, or simply interested in supporting the Armed Forces community, I'd encourage you to have a listen.

A very fitting celebration yesterday afternoon to thank and congratulate Unforgotten Forces for the significant contribution made to the veteran landscape since 2017. UF leaves a strong legacy as it winds up and much has been achieved to support the needs of older veterans, bringing partners together across Scotland. 

A special mention to Frank, Karina and Laila for all the brilliant work they have done. Thank you all.
