The strategy addresses the challenges armed forces families face with mobility, deployment and separation and the implications this has for accessing good quality healthcare, education, and accommodation.

It also notes the evolving nature of family life and the pressures this can place on childcare and managing the career of the partner or spouse alongside that of the Service person.

The strategy will be supported by an action plan that includes the commitments made in the governments response to Andrew Selous MPs Living in Our Shoes report. The strategy and action plan will be delivered in partnership with the devolved administrations, the charitable and private sectors.
