Corrected that for you.
The volunteer has gone rogue and ignored policy
is much easier for Perms to defend in Court.

I am collating some feedback from CFAV about the potential impact of the SCD using a Microsoft Form which is available at:
Supervisory Care Directive - CFAV Feedback â Fill in form
The form is anon but you do need a RAFAC account to access it. There is only one question which asks you to provide some information about the type and scale of impact you believe this SCD will cause for you at the local level. The more specific you can be in your context the better.
My intent is to take the results, review them and then put them into a report which can be fed into the chain of command for consideration.

If there is one thing that has been said here in theses 182 posts that has made more sense that this, then I canât think of it.
People complain about the snow flake generation. RAFAC with the SCD is in pole position as its greatest enabler.

A pondering questioning for those legally mindedâŚ.
If i ignore this policy on sqn as it is complete drivvel and something bad happened on sqn or an activity when cadet were remotely supervised could i be held personally liable in any way?
Assuming all planned controls in RA are followed and an unmitigable injury occurred when cadets are remotely supervised.
It seems the only way to continue to deliver most activities with this directive is to just ignore as the works of someone ill informed but somehow has sufficient permission to post on sharepoint⌠(And advise staff teams as such)
I could be pessimistic but this sort of thing does push staff to other youth groups with a more realistic view of risk and volunteers time to read/understand 100âs of policies/updates (Most of which contradict each other)

That would depend a lot on what happened and the circumstances so almost impossible to say. If someone was badly injured then another policy would probably have been breached that was more serious and the SCD ratios would be somewhere down the list of violations.

Unfortunately âŚit wouldnât even need something âbadâ to happenâŚ
..Even something minor, little Jonhy blabs to Mummy and Daddy who (probably completely overeact!) decide to take it further âŚ.you could be in the poop as far as getting a long service medal âŚ.
Dammed if you do âŚdammed if you donâtâŚ.
Depends if weâre talking about spending 5 years as the girlfriend substitute at HMP Armley, or getting sacked as OC and yeeted out of the ATC.
One of those is very definitely a problem, the other perhaps less so.
There are no sharing a cell & STDâs with Lonely Dave consequences for breaking ATC rules. There are for breaking the actual law
Obviously, if you do break them, and something else goes wrong, HQAC wonât run to your defence, pay your legal fees and send a line of seniors to court to give you character references and to pleed your case with the beak like they would otherwise.
Oh, ahâŚ.
My own view is that the best way to combat this crap is to absolutely plague the most senior people you can access with evening and weekend calls asking for emergency exemptions/whatever - theyâll get bored of having their lives relentlessly disrupted pretty quickly, and Lo!, a more sensible policy will emerge.
Hopefully the author of this *mighty tomeâ will soon be offered a career opportunity at the Embassy in BaghdadâŚ

One simple way to reduce the impact of this would be to increase the joining age to 13 and transfer cadets to CFAV status at 18.
We could go completely back to the 1970s and stop girls from joining tooâŚ

Genuine conversations were having.
If we donât have female staff, we canât have female cadets. So we canât recruit them.

We really need to avoid trying to justify turning female cadets away.

Do you think HQAC are going to get the metaphorical punch in the face by us just making this beef witted idiocy work?
No, itâs only going to change when CAC gets dragged to a hats on, pension-endangering, standing on a plastic sheet, one way conversation either with CAS, or a minister.
That wonât happen if we make this work and hide the - appalling - consequences under the carpet.

And any newly recruited female CI will have at least a 12 month probation before they can be used towards ratios.

I donât really understand why we do a yearâs probation. What function does it serve?

I thought it was 6 months (but then 12 back on probation as an APO if you commission)
Ticks a box in a pointless policyâŚsorry are you unaware how policy works in the ATC?

Yes likewise, plus the exemption that ex-cadets progressing straight into CIship donât do it and can count immediately after AVIP
Female only and male only squadrons?
Bring back the GVC?
I, for one, look forward to the reception given to the proposal paper for the introduction of Lady SquadronsâŚ
I didnât realise it had gone?
