The Role of a Staff Cadet and the Upper Age Limit

I guess that circulation feedback was filed directly into the shredder.

No way that gets run by the coal face and comes out with all those issues ready to go.

I’ve still seen nothing official about this. :frowning:

Do we think maybe it should have gone to just WHQs and maybe OC Wgs at this point rather than to ALL ahead the change in 3 weeks

Adults on a squadron mixing potentially unsupervised with children whilst not holding a DBS (for the good they do anyhow…)

Daily Fail is going to have a field day with this one!

Yeh, nothing official seen down here yet. Only what’s been posted on here!

Will the new staff cadet therefore be able to claim mileage? Would they still pay subs?

I meant within @Texan region

All questions that I am sure have been fully thought through with answers ready to go on day one when the policy changes.

What about CI

(Where CI in this case = confirmed incompetent)

In short no.

Ww complain of trickle down comms and yet in this example of direct to all you suggest the filter is reapplied?

It hasn’t gone direct to all, it’s trickle down. Hence why some of us haven’t had the information yet.

If it was up to me? Yes and no respectively.

I’ve had to remove an image from this thread, I’ll be open and say it was at the request of HQ, on the basis it was a direct screenshot of an Official document, and should not have been shared outside of Bader.

Friendly reminder that it’s easier, and safer for all concerned, to post links to Bader documents than it is to upload shots of them.

With us being under the ā€œRAFAC brandā€ does anyone know happens with CCF cadets when they get to Year 13 aged 18. As presumably they can’t continue in the CCF as they would leave school that year, if they turn 18 earlier in the year do they have to stop or do they go through the same DBS process etc?

CCF had already been operating under different rules that didn’t require the same process as ATC cadets.

That’s where the problem lies, I know we are going to have this split naturally especially with more of the established set however there shouldn’t be 2 processes for the ā€œsame organisationā€. ATC changed to entry from year 8 over 12 a little while ago. When I joined it was 13. Do they have Staff cadets in the CCF?

I’m Sure it’s elsewhere in this thread but each school CCF is effectively it’s own cadet force in its own right - there is no central organisation per se as under the education act the headteacher is the DDH & the energy to get something through parliament isn’t there.

So CCFs will follow the mix of Army, RAF & schools own policy to reach a happy negotiated medium.

I think the CCFs pay more into the system that they get out so you don’t want to upset the magic money tree there…

So in a sense their CO is the headteacher of the school? The Regional Commandant I suppose is just there to offer a link to the RAFAC organisation to make it look more official in that sense then.

Each single service section will have an OC with a contingent commander overseeing the whole thing on a day to day basis.
The contingent commander is directly responsible to the head, with only a dotted rather than solid line of command to the individual HQs (though primarily to the Army as they have responsibility for all the CCF)
