The Overlooked Casualties of Conflict report
In November 2009 we launched our latest research report - entitled The
Overlooked Casualties of Conflict. This is the culmination of many
months of work - from examining all current thinking and UK/US academic
research on the topic to interviewing Naval children, parents, child
psychology experts, other service charities and opinion-formers.
The report is an in-depth study of all the challenges experienced by
children who have a parent in the Armed Forces. Over the last 20 years
we at the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children’s Fund have seen service
children experience the repercussions of the Falklands War, so we
undertook this report to share our knowledge as we predict we are
sitting on a ticking timebomb of problems for children whose parents
have served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
The full version of the report can be downloaded here.
