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.

A fascinating afternoon yesterday in Stirling Castle at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission VJ 80 Commemoration. Another reminder of the suffering of Service people and civilians during War in the Far East. Lest we forget.

It was great to see the Veterans Minister @graemedeymsp launching the Veterans In Service Injury Network (VISIN) in Inverness today. This initiative delivers on a recommendation from the Scottish Veterans Commissioner, and will provide an additional layer of support through this dedicated pathway of care.

A pleasure to catch up with Sue Raw, Secretary of the War Widows Association following the extraordinarily poignant VJ Day 80 Anniversary Service at the Scottish National War Memorial. 

During the service we heard incredibly moving accounts from veterans and children of veterans. These brought to life the brutal conflict, which saw some of the most intense fighting of WWII and unspeakable cruelty toward prisoners of war. It reminds us of the debt that society owes to those who secured our country's freedom, and those who continue to do so.
