Sent a chase out last week, got the parents who had already submitted checking I’d received.
I think I’m at just over 10 completed, we’ve seen ~20 cadets since reopening so more to come.
I’m mostly concerned that I’ve got bad parent contact data to start with.
Is anyone else still struggling?
Yep. I’ve had 3 back, but only since I uploaded the forms into the sqn downloads section.
Think we’re up to about half of our attending cadets.
We’ve got a load more on the books who said they’d come back when we open up but haven’t yet done so - the CO is reluctant to remove them for some reason - and they have not yet returned any forms.
We’ve sent them twice electronically and had zero responses. Sent out paper copies and they are starting to come back, slowly. It’s nice to be able to shred the originals after scanning though.
Depends what they regard as “open”, where we are currently isn’t really open and it’s the summer hols. I’m still failing to get overly excited about this. I see it as “softly, softly catchy monkey”, rather than stomping around, with in effect bullying/threatening emails. We’ve got cadets who said they’ll be back, still to be seen, but I’m not getting bothered until the end of next month, when they know what their schooling is going to be like for the coming year. Before we broke up the thinking was 2-3 years before things approach the “old days”, dependent on the DfE/exam boards not chucking random/ad hoc changes into the mix.
I think HQAC etc need to fully understand who they are here for and why they have the jobs they do. You can’t treat people like pawns in some admin process when they do something completely voluntarily. Well you can, if you want to discourage them.
Just received some 3822As back but where do we put them in SMS cadet record. There is a place for files so I take it we just put them in there. Anyone got any information on this.
Yep that is the place to put them. You can then change the type to 3822A or 3822H
I’m adding brand new cadets to SMS, do we still need to attach the 3822a (and h) to the files tab?
Yes, I believe so.
Yes, you have to copy across the relevant details and permissions onto SMS, then upload the 3822A to the Files section and delete the original email.
An education health care plan is specific for children that have additional needs. The parents would know if they have one as there would be regular reviews.
A child that does not have a education health care plan, and never had may not fully know or understand because it would be irrelevant for them.
So it’s D-Day.
I’m yet to hear anything at about this from any source other than the IBN or on here.
Has anyone got WEXOs planning to suspend?
Did the IBN not say that it was up to OCs to reccomened to WExOs to suspend, not that WExOs can start suspending at will?
Yes, but we all know what some WEXOs are like
I just read it again and it’s very loose. But there is absolutely nothing that says cadets will be suspended if not done. Just said that OCs may recommend to the WExO that they should be suspended. Doesn’t even say they have too 
how will they know? is there a report that can be run (would be helpful to have)?
Version 7 of the 3822A released today…
James did forewarn us of that a few days ago, I think.
We don’t need to redo anything, just use that one from now on.
No fields in SMS to store some of the new data, though
How long until its version 9, 10, or 20.
Versioning in this org is guff.
