Considering gender has been a published statistic in the cadet forces for years, is this actually an issue? Or is it just something you’ve made up?

There are far more interesting stats such as age and type of staff (as per the survey) rather than just something based on chromosomes, to understand things better.
I would have thought now ethnicity and sexuality would be much more important for govt depts. Just imagine white, male, heterosexual making up the largest ATC staffing group, not happy reading.
You never answered my question, i’ll just assume what you said is a teflonism.

I’ll bite…
Seriously? Following a resignation I no longer have a single female member of staff on my unit. Clearly I should have one, but at the moment I can’t run an overnight event (following f2f resumption) without support from Wg or another unit…
oh I completely agree on that front, it’s a very strange position that doesn’t make sense.
Believe me I know where you are coming from, I spent 5 years without a female on the staff list, but it didn’t affect things at the time. If I don’t see the one I have now I don’t care as long as she’s able to do activities and thankfully she’s not bothered about doing many things. The irony is when our kids were in primary school there wasn’t male member of staff the whole time our son was there. Every single school trip all female staff and no one batted an eyelid, try and something banal in the ATC no chance. Madness.
I agree with MVL was going to say the smae about registered Civ Com
Figured I’d resurrect this thread rather than starting a new one, the 2025 Stats were published a few days ago.
CFAV numbers are painting a good picture… for the ACF & SCC!
ACF & SCC appearing to have had 2-3 years of growth, whilst the ATC has had at least 4 years of decline.
Maybe Tony should put that his LinkedIN.
“Successfully streamlined our cohort of volunteers”
Next year will be the one that starts to cause panic because the numbers will show against 2022 stats & the ATC will be the only one with a volunteer decrease.

Nothing about this surprises me.
So stumbled across this from the National Audit Office which is basically a review/audit of RFCA

Do we think the stabilisation bounce is the cadets to CFAV change at 18?
Interestingly we have the same no of staff as the ACF but less cadets.
Sad to see CCF (RAF) reduced

I suspect because the funding that paid for them ran out, and they were expected to self fund and many will not have been able to.

I guess that’s the £50mil?
committed £50m from LIBOR fines to cover set up costs, uniforms, equipment and training to grow the total number of cadet units in schools across the UK to 500 by March 2020
