E-learning for Armed Forces Personnel & Families
Service personnel and their families face often unique challenges. To support them, the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire Armed Forces Covenant Partnership have created online e-learning modules, which are intended for specific audiences. The Armed Forces Covenant for Armed Forces Personnel and The Armed Forces Covenant for Armed Forces Families modules provide great understanding of the Covenant as it is applied today, how it works and what to do if it is not working.
If you’re coming up to, or are currently going through, the resettlement process, or if you have recently left the Armed Forces and are adjusting to life outside the Armed Forces, the Adjusting to Life Outside the Armed Forces module is helpful.
You will also find this module useful if you are supporting a current or ex-member of the Armed Forces in these circumstances.
The Service Leaver Guide
The Service Leaver Guide is provided by Veterans UK to all serving personnel prior to leaving the Armed Forces. It is updated on a regular basis and is a recognised source of valuable information. Visit www.gov.uk and search for https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/service-leavers-pack
E-learning for Front Line Workers & Local Authority Personnel
This module explains the commitment of the Armed Forces Covenant and how it can be honoured and implemented in the community. It will help in understanding and the application of the principles of the Covenant. It also provides sources of further information and support.
