At the RAF Families Federation, we regularly hear from families in arange of overseas locations. Over the past four years we have dealt with issues and queries relating to postings from the USA to Brunei, and from Norway to the Falklands!
We would now like to find out more about the RAF Overseas Experience and this Spring we will be running an online survey and aseries of interviews. We are therefore looking for RAF personnel and their families who are currently serving on overseas postings to take part in this study (or who have returned within the past 12 months). Our focus will be on overseas accompanied postings, but we would also welcome views from families who chose not to accompany their RAF Serving person.
We are carrying out this research as part of the ongoing RAF Dispersed Families Project, an initiative funded by the Chancellor using LIBOR funds.
HOWCAN YOUTAKE PART?
The survey will be going live on our website over the coming weeks. We will advertise it via Facebook and Twitter,soplease follow us on these channels and subscribe to the eBulletin to make sure that you do not miss it. Interviews will run alongside the survey and will be conducted face-to-face, or by Skype or telephone where needed.
Youcan also get in touch with the Project Manager,Tor Johnson, to express an interest in taking part:

We will ask for some basic details so that we can get in touch once the study is up and running*
The more responses we get, the better idea we will have of what life is like for our overseas families, so you can also help us by spreading the word with your colleagues, family and friends.
WHATWILL WEDOWITH THE RESULTS?
As ever your views are important to us! Once our data collection is complete, we will examine the evidence that we have collected to identify the key benefits and issues associated with overseas postings. As with all of our reports, all information will be presented in an anonymized and confidential format in line with our Confidentiality Policy –itwill not be possible to identify you or your family members through any information made available outside of the RAF Families Federation.
We will present our results to the RAF,MODand other agencies, as appropriate. The views that you provide will help us to shape policy and to ensure that support for families living overseas meets their needs. We appreciate that overseas experiences may depend on posting type and location, but if we receive enough responses then we may also be able to make recommendations that are specific to these factors.
