Scotty’s Little Soldiers – Helping children after military parent loss: Part 2

In part two of this BBK Free Speech Podcast, Jennifer Ellis, Senior Solicitor in our Military Claims team, continues her discussion with Nikki Scott, Founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers – a charity supporting children and young people who have lost a parent who served in the British Armed Forces.

This episode explores key issues affecting bereaved Armed Forces families, including:

• the repatriation process following a military death and its emotional and practical impact on families
• service inquiries, and how charities like Scotty’s Little Soldiers support families through these investigations
• the proposed Hillsborough Law, and the potential impact it could have on military families

The second part of this conversation provides valuable insight into the realities faced by families after the death of a serving parent, the importance of specialist military bereavement support, and how legal reform could improve outcomes for Armed Forces families.
