Setting new foundations
For improved services across the sector for female veterans.
Who we are
The Female Veterans’ Transformation Programme will produce a toolkit for use by service providers in the commercial, statutory and charitable sectors, helping transform service provision for female veterans - the 250,000 strong group whose specific needs are not being addressed by current service provision. The toolkit could take the form of a digital resource, awareness-raising resources, or an interactive app.
The 3-year, UK-wide programme is funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and NHS England, in partnership with the Cobseo Female Veterans Cluster and the Women’s Royal Army Corps Association.
The Programme will align with this Spring’s first ever Women Veterans’ Strategy from the Office for Veterans’ Affairs.
“The programme aims to build a legacy where female veterans feel confident to access the right support, at the right time, and in the right way for them,”
Colonel (Retd) Alison Brown OBE, Chair of the Cobseo Female Veterans’ Cluster Group.
Our Publications
Phase one of this programme has been to establish a robust evidence base. We have reviewed over 60 research papers from across the UK veterans sector (commercial, statutory and charity) to produce an Evidence Review.
The Statement of Need provides a succinct and visual representation of female veterans’ needs, such as support on employment, finance and access to services; bullying and discrimination.
