This event will offer you the opportunity to learn, reflect on, and celebrate the success of the two year South Yorkshire Armed Forces Covenant Project which was undertaken in partnership with Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley Local Authorities and in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam and York St John Universities. Throughout the course of the project York St John University (YSJ) delivered Military Human CPD training to over 1,000 front line staff across South Yorkshire. The conference will give you the opportunity to:

Listen to key note speakers from the military community including Nick Wood, YSJ Education & Development Lead, facilitator of the CPD training the Military Human: Understanding Military Culture and Transition (a series of study days giving an in-depth understanding into the Armed Forces Covenant and challenges faced by ex-service personnel faced with the transition to civilian life).

Hear from Local Authorities’ Armed Forces Covenant leads on the impact this project has had on staff working across the South Yorkshire region.

Meet and network with colleagues from a wide range of professions associated with the military community including the NHS.

Browse the exhibition stands with representatives from national charities and military organisations on hand to share their experiences.

The conference aims to provide colleagues with networking and educational opportunities and the forum to discuss s how the Armed Forces Covenant can be brought to life by your organisation to support service personnel and the armed forces community.
