Join us for an important event as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, where you can discover what it's like to work in the armed forces while caring for children with additional needs.

This event shines a light on the lived experiences of parents serving in the Armed Forces while raising children with additional needs. It will explore the challenges of balancing military life and caregiving, the impact on work, family and wellbeing, and the kinds of support that can make a real difference.

Whether you’re part of the military community, work in education, health or social care, or simply want to learn more, this is an open and welcoming space to listen, connect and contribute to the conversation.

Engage with jigsaw puzzles showcasing artwork created by armed forces families and create your own jigsaws and bespoke postcards in response.

Meet the researchers involved and learn about their impactful work. This event promises to be an engaging and insightful experience for all ages.
