Sorry James - whilst I’m looking forward to further capability with Teams, I’m urgently checking whether there is any current function to deliver messages to my cadets through CP.
Otherwise this means I’ll still need to rely on Facebook for communication (no comment from HQAC…)
Phone them individually 
No, there is no function other than using their contact details stored on SMS
I’ve taken their email addresses from SMS and emailed them all (with other bader accounts cc’d in).
Also uploaded this to the ‘Training Programme’ Section and made it the only thing they can access on there.
I’ll be scheduling virtual events on SMS.
Thanks all, much appreciated.
@MRAR, great idea with the training programme, what activities have you suggested?
Now I’m curious as to what the ‘Notifications’ section is for…? 
James. cracking work getting everything going on Teams and virtual parade nights. Not sure you have a day job with the amount of work you must do so a big thanks from us!
I have done the easy bit, the grunt work was by the Bader civil servants.
Yes, do have a very busy day job but working quite late into the night to get this stuff sorted out. Now that Teams has deployed, it should calm down a bit 
Fantastic effort all round!
It is a great step forward at a time of mostly retreat.
What we do need now is more material to use online. Not just classification stuff either. Stuff we can use for the whole Sqn.
A repository, centrally located on sharepoint. Rather than each Sqn or each wing creating and hoarding it’s own stuff. Now is the time to share, for the betterment of all.
Our cadets and staff appreciate everything you have all done. We got back up and running late night with our first virtual parade and cadet feedback was great. We had 24 cadets sign in.
Thank you.
Stupid question time, but I haven’t seen any clarification on it…
Are we expected to authorise and close “virtual parade nights” on SMS (to show activity) or just cxl them once done?
Are we expected to provide a risk assessment for these sessions? (presumably required to close an event)
I would close them, at least then you’ve got a record of who’s participating.
I can’t see what risks you can assess against, unless we’re going to talk about the horrors you might see on a cadets webcam, viruses etc from links posted to the chat log, and the horrors that might been exposed by screen-sharing . . .
Pretty much what I was thinking - it’s not like we can affect control measures.
Never tried to close without adding an RA - does it work?
No RA required, just like Flying/Gliding so you can approve & complete
Roger, thanking you, tally ho!
Will that mess up the audit process?
yes I think so as the Wexo is supposed to check for a RA
well talk to your wexo about what they think would be required in a e-learning RA 
thats a conversation I look forward too!
