Snapshot: introductions to key themes and topics in relation to the UK Armed Forces community, including veterans and their families

Snapshots are designed to aid understanding of the complex issues at play in relation to the Armed Forces, and to support decision-making processes by bridging the gaps between academic research, government and charitable policy, Service provision and public opinion. Snapshots are aimed primarily at those working in policy-making and Service provision roles for the Armed Forces, and are also useful to those seeking facts, figures and informed comment to empower a more objective discussion among the wider population, including the Armed Forces community and the media. The purpose of Snapshots is to review and interpret research and policy and to set out concise, plain language summaries to facilitate understanding and perception.

Snapshots available at present: 1) education and training 2) employment 3) housing 4) physical health 5) mental health 6) criminal justice system 7) military families 8) research

Further Snapshots will be made available in due course and Snapshots are updated on a rolling basis.
