On this day, we remember the 9/11 terror attacks 25 years ago, when 2,977 people lost their lives.
We honour the memory of the victims and pay tribute to all whose lives were forever changed, including civilians, emergency workers, military personnel and their families.

One in every four Forces children across Scotland live somewhere that officially recognises their rights.
Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Angus, and most recently, Moray Council, have all adopted the Forces Children's Rights Charter.
As this movement continues to grow, we’ll be working with Forces children’s rights defenders, providing practical ways we can champion the voices of children and young people from Armed Forces families.
As Cadence, a young person who helped create the Charter, put it: “Let's turn these promises into actions that make a real difference.”

For many children and young people in Armed Forces families, global conflict and instability don't feel like distant issues. These headlines and events can have a very real effect on their mental health and wellbeing.
Beginning in Cyprus, we'll be working with the local Armed Forces community to develop a programme for Forces children and young people affected by uncertainty and global conflict.

Did you know that First Steps offers on-demand stories, information and support for Forces children in the early years?
In partnership with Early Years Scotland, we gathered the views of parents and practitioners and created these resources so that babies and young children from Armed Forces families have a voice.
