I assume that family commitments mean that you are planning on working from a UK base once employed? If this is the case then you probably only need train for a UK CAA licence, but a lot of cadets are currently choosing to get dual rated (UK CAA + EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) licences) in order maximise their employability across mainland Europe. Dual licence training is probably easier undertaken on an integrated course and so would be a prime consideration if choosing this route, but it's residential and with the exception of FTA-Global (Brighton) involves months overseas at a 'fair weather' base for basic flight training, which may not work for you. If it doesn't then the modular route will give you the flexibility you need and can be done at a pace that suits you. There are plenty of UK schools offering modular training and, as someone else wrote earlier, by joining the BWPA you will unlock a heap of expertise to help you choose your optimum route. Best of luck.
