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.

A valuable meeting with 51 Brigade’s SO2 Welfare at Redford Barracks yesterday, discussing the challenges faced by Service Leavers and their families, particularly around health, employment and housing.

A key takeaway was the importance of Service Leavers accessing the support, briefings and information available to them, and ensuring that the advice provided reflects the realities of settling in Scotland. Access to the right information at the right time can make a real difference to a successful transition.

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.
