Realising the right of children separated from parents in armed forces families: learning from the Scottish context

Reading Time: 3 minutesThis dissertation examines how the rights of children from Armed Forces families in Scotland are protected, fulfilled, and promoted during periods of parental separation caused by military service. Guided by the UNCRC (1989), Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, and the sociology of childhood, it adopts a child rights-based qualitative approach to explore how family, school, and community collectively shape children’s emotional well-being and rights realisation within the structural and cyclical nature of armed forces life.
