And their families can submit their feedback to the armed forces pay review every year we all know evidence session with the armed forces pair of people take each Federation is invited to give information back from family to that particular holiday we've launched a day which is running just at the weight asking people to give their feet that it sits on the front page of our website and it's a 6 question and I can text box we would really like to hear from those in uniform and family members about their feedback Rick. Doing the emphasis posy body who got a few moments together we would really appreciate to have that feedback that information goes directly into the evidence session for their own forces paper if you bought a well you think the results from the survey will mean especially for the past not in families in this evidence session gives the emphasis repairs you've got an opportunity to hear from some Malays so the other half of the coin relay it's designed to give them the full picture of the impact of their decisions how that actually plays out the home shopping basket cost of living except for so it's really important for us to make sure we've got that information we can then take that forward undiluted and I says to the peer review body when they sit in session they inform us that they find this really valuable information because it's the kind of data to they want to get from people so difficult when we're working with busy lives to actually sometimes sitting get all that information place together and talk about baby dies you need to die with regards to child tax or the rest of the and yes there's an announcement that's just recently coming out about an extended free childcare for the c.s. Families the full information is sitting on a website w w w dot n f f the old such u.k. It's a measure that's been introduced as the 1st of September 27th game and it's particularly designed to assist those families overseas it's quite an in-depth piece of information so I would guide people to have a look at all of the eligibility criteria is on the websites or laid out there with the relevant legs but definitely well worth having a look at especially talking to me said expense and sometimes not just in u.k. But like he said he was even while they posed that we absolutely love having more people in our lives but as you say sometimes you just need to make sure you've got everything in place with regard to that childcare provision so as a side the information is that it is really comprehensive as to what people need to do to apply what the eligibility criteria is so it's certainly very. Well let's look at the over the summer months in preparation for 10 when the announcement mature come into play and then finally for anyone would like some more information oh nice I'm back in the guy even typing neighbor family and I have a situation comes up thought to be w w dot and dot org dot u.k.
