Reach for the Skies (what could we be doing better)

In exactly the same way that if you were using an outside training provider - This is who is doing the activity - this is where - this is who is in charge - this is who will be “IC” the RAFAC contingent - this is what we’re doing - here’s a copy of THEIR risk assessment

Sadly we have a bit of a mixed relationship with this way of thinking. And it does confuse me.

We can pay a private climbing centre to run a climbing session for a group of cadets. They provide everything. Equipment and instructors. We can do the same with something like Skiing. Pay PGL to provide it as a service and take the cadet overseas too. With PGL doing all the leg work.

But we can’t let cadet go parachuting, flying or gliding at a civvy site. Not even for an experience flight.

We also can’t let the cadets attend another cadet forces activity without a lot of hoops to jump through. As you say, it should be no different to using any other activity or training provider, yet it some how is.
