CHAPTER 1
ORGANISATION, POLICY AND GOVERNANCE
1.1. Status
1.1.1. The Combined Cadet Force (CCF) is a voluntary youth organisation in schools and
colleges, in the State and Independent sectors, sponsored and administered by the Ministry
of Defence (MOD). CCF units, known as contingents, may comprise up to 4 sections: Royal
Navy (RN), Royal Marines (RM), Army and Royal Air Force (RAF). The MOD sponsors the
CCF and provides some financial aid, administered by the respective single Services,
dependent on which sections the CCF contingent has.
1.2. Organisation
1.2.1. The successful running of a CCF is based on the principle of a ‘partnership’ between
the MOD and the School which generates a number of relationships dependent on the
number of sections in the Contingent. The Head Teacher is in Charge of his/her CCF for
whom the responsibilities are laid out in the next chapter. The MOD has potentially four
different sub-organisations that will interact directly with the School; The Reserve Forces and
Cadets Division (RF&C Div) in MOD Whitehall (for Tri-service CCF Policy and some specific
duties in regard to opening and closing a Contingent or Sections), The Army Fmn HQ (for
broad administration procedures and specifically the Army Section), the Air Cadet
Organisation at Cranwell (for the RAF section) and The Youth and Cadets Division of Flag
Officer Scotland Northern England and Northern Ireland (for the RN and RM Sections).
1.3. Reserve Forces and Cadets Division Input
1.3.1. Overarching policy for the CCF is provided through RF&C Div Asst Hd (Y&C), SO1
Y&C and SO2 CCF, (the JCS)
1. In addition RF&C Div will get involved with opening and
closing of Contingents and sections and instigation of ‘special measures’ for struggling
Contingents, in order to provide the tri-service overview and considerations. RF&C Div also
currently provides help and advice to Contingents at the ‘tactical’ level; this includes
interpreting regulations, establishment numbers and biennial inspections. The bulk of the
MOD input to the running of Contingents is delivered by the single Services for which the
Regional Brigade will take the lead
1.3.2. To ensure RF&C Div do not work in isolation, policy is developed and agreed through
a process of consultation to ensure that the views of the single-Services and cadet
associations are taken into account and inconsistencies, wherever practicable, removed. To
formally manage the consultation process a tiered committee structure is in place to bring
together all the stakeholders from across Defence and the wider community. This structure
is explained more fully in JSP 814 Ch 2. However, the diagram at Annex A provides a
schematic of the tiered committee structure and the relationships described above
1.3.3.
The procedure for opening, closing or placing a Contingent or sections into ‘special
measures’ is described in Chapter 2.
1.4. Training and liaison staff
1.5.1. In addition to the assistance provided by the Services under the affiliation
arrangements, personnel are established to provide dedicated training and administrative
support to every CCF section. Details are in the Service supplements.
1 JCS – Joint Cadet Secretariat – collective term for the three posts that provide the tri-service ‘centre’ decision making on
CCF matters where single-Service decisions are not appropriate. SO2 CCF undertakes the day-to-day administrative CCF
business.
1-1
1.5. Combined Cadet Force Association (CCFA)
1.5.1. The Combined Cadet Force Association (CCFA) is the charitable body recognised by
the MOD and Heads’ organisations to carry out the following functions:
a.
To advise schools, contingents, the MOD and other authorities on CCF
matters generally.
b.
To assume responsibility for CCF activities which fall outside the MOD’s
direct concern, such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
c.
To operate a tailored Cadet Force Collective Insurance Scheme on behalf of
member contingents which provide personnel accident cover, travel insurance for
cadet expeditions, legal help for CCF adult staff and third party liability cover.
d.
To liaise with the Council of Cadet Rifle Shooting (CCRS) and other kindred
bodies on CCF matters.
e.
To facilitate the participation of CCF Cadets and adults in National
Commemorative events such as Banner Parades, Royal events, Remembrance
Sunday and the Garden of Remembrance.
f.
Where funds allow, to provide financial support for cadets who might not
otherwise be able to attend developmental training/expeditions.
g.
To provide the social, information and other personal services akin to a
Regimental or Service association.
1.5.2. Membership of the Association is open to both contingents and individuals with the
control of the Association’s programme being governed by an annually elected Council
consisting of former contingent commanders representing all contingents on a regional or
county basis. Contact details for the CCFA can be provided by JCS: correspondence should
be addressed to the Secretary.
1.6. Regulations and instructions
JSP 814
1.6.1. JSP 814 is the lead policy document listing Regulations for MOD-sponsored Cadet
Organisations. This JSP is to be read in conjunction with JSP 814.
JSP 535 – Cadet Training Safety Precautions (CTSP)
1.6.2. The aim of JSP 535, CTSP, is to provide information and assistance to CFAVs and
other personnel who provide support and training to the Cadet Forces. It consist of two parts:
Part I – Immediate Actions, is to provide CFAVs with specific guidance for dealing with
accidents, incidents and child safeguarding issues and is to be carried at all times by adults
supervising Cadet training. If it is not practical to do so due to the nature of the activity, it is
to be located with the nearest immediate form of communication e.g. mobile ‘phone or
radio. CFAVs are required to undergo familiarisation of Part I as part of their initial training,
and subsequently when any amendment to Part I is issued. The format of the familiarisation
training is at s-Svc discretion.
Part II – CFAV Training Safety, is to provide CFAVs with a more generalised reference
document for delivering safe training. The carriage of part II is at the discretion of the
single-Service Cadet Force HQs.
1.7. Conferences and Briefing Days
1-2
link to page 4
1.7.1. The disparate nature of CCF contingents makes it important that opportunities occur
for the exchange of views on aspects of Service support and training. To this end, Regional
Bde HQs are to arrange periodic conferences for CCF Contingent Commanders in their area
of responsibility, inviting representatives from the JCS, and single-Service CCF HQs. Single
Services are also encouraged to arrange periodic conferences for Section Commanders in
geographic areas.
1.7.2. Briefing Days for Heads and new Contingent Commanders are arranged annually by
RF&C at the Cadet Training Centre at Frimley Park, involving participation and briefings from
the service CCF HQs with the aim of educating newly appointed members and updating
others.

CHAPTER 2
SCHOOL CONTINGENT ORGANISATION
2.1. Head’s
authority
2.1.1.
The CCF organisation is such that no outside authority may interfere with the
responsibility of Heads for the staff and pupils in their schools. Heads have the right of
access to the JCS on any issues concerning the contingent.
2.2. Head’s
responsibilities
2.2.1. The Head is in charge of the CCF and his/her responsibilities are detailed in the matrix
at Annex A to Chap 1. He/she is specifically responsible for:
a.
The duty of care for the contingent. This is normally exercised through the
contingent commander or officers responsible for the overall conduct of activities.
b.
Recommending to the MOD that a CCF be established and the type of
Service sections to be included.
c.
Defining the policy for service in the CCF within the parameters set by MOD.
d.
Recommending a Contingent Commander and obtaining MOD approval for
the appointment.
e.
Recommending the commissioning/appointment of candidates to meet the
established number of officers. This must take into account the need to provide
appropriate levels of male/female supervision.
f.
The employment of School Staff Instructors (SSIs).
g.
The overall discipline of cadets while undertaking CCF training.
h.
Ensuring that enhanced CRB clearance is obtained at least every 5 years for
all adult staff members of the CCF. The Disclosure date and number for each adult
staff member of the CCF is to be recorded on MOD IT systems by the single
Services..
i.
Ensuring that Contingent Commanders and SSIs update Next Of Kin (NOK)
details for the CCF cadets and adults on WESTMINSTER and BADER as
appropriate.
j.
Ensuring that Contingent Commanders and SSIs update all other records
such as training and qualifications on WESTMINSTER and BADER as appropriate.
The Head may delegate those responsibilities from e. to j. to the Contingent
Commander.
2.3. Procedure for opening contingents
2.3.1. Requests to open a CCF contingent or section are to be made by the Head personally
in writing to the JCS. Staffing of such requests will be initiated by the JCS in consultation
with single-Service HQs.
2.4. Contingents or Sections in special measures
2-1
2.4.1. A Contingent or Section may be placed in ‘special measures’ for a number of reasons;
lack of cadets or lack of CFAVs are the primary ones. However, this step is taken in order to
allow Schools a period of time in which to solve the issues affecting their contingent and
regain a sustainable position. It could manifest as a suspension of one or more sections
depending on the problems prevailing, but whatever form the ‘special measures’ take, they
will only have been implemented after consultation with RF&C Div and the relevant s-Service
HQs / Army Fmn HQ. The process will involve a meeting with the Head Teacher and a letter
from RF&C Div JCS setting out the agreed way forward, actions required by the School (and
/ or MOD) and timescales for achieving them.
2.5. Closure of contingents/sections
2.5.1. CCF Contingents/Sections may be closed only on the authority of the JCS (specifically
Asst Hd Y&C). Closure may be effected as a result of the following:
a. By a formal request from the Head in writing to the JCS.
b. As a result of failing to solve the issues that have put a Contingent or section
into ‘special measures’, within the timescales agreed,
c. When the cadet strength of a section or contingent is significantly and
persistently below the minimum figure laid down, although normally it is
expected that special measures will have been introduced in the first
instance.
d. Where the officer strength of a contingent falls below establishment to a point
where the level of adult supervision and the achievement of training is
seriously impaired. A period of recruiting will normally have been granted, but
the safe conduct of training activities will be an overriding factor. Normally it
is expected that special measures will have been introduced in the first
instance
e. Substantiated cases of inefficiency or maladministration, but again it is
expected that a ‘special measures’ route would have been taken before final
closure.
2.5.2. As with placing a Contingent or Section in ‘special measures’, final closure will only
happen after the JCS has consulted with the appropriate Service HQs, the Head, and, if
necessary, with the school Board of Governors. Closure will be instigated through a formal
letter from the MOD.
2.5.3.
Administration. In the event of some form of ‘special measures’ or closure being
implemented the administrative and logistical aspects, that may include return of weapons
and ammunition, auditing and closure of accounts etc, will be organised and conducted by
the Army Fmn HQ, having agreed a plan with the school.
2.6. Procedure for changing Contingent Commander
2.6.1. Heads are to inform the JCS in writing whenever they wish to change the command of
their contingent.
2.6.2. The outgoing Contingent Commander is responsible for:
a. Balancing the accounts of the contingent and handing the administration of
the public funds over to his successor.
b. Carrying out a complete physical check of all items on charge to the
contingent in conjunction with the CCF Administrative Assistant (CCFAA).
2-2
2.6.3. The JCS will notify the change of command of a contingent to all concerned.
2.7. Cadet
establishments
2.7.1.
Procedure. Ideally, all contingents will have RN, Army and RAF sections, and some
will have RM sections. However, this is not always possible and smaller contingents may
be authorised. Individual sections will have an authorised cadet establishment negotiated
between the school and the JCS. The sum of individual Service section establishments will
be the contingent establishment. This total figure is not to be exceeded, but to meet
temporary fluctuations in cadet numbers, Contingent Commanders are allowed to exceed
the authorised establishment in a section by up to 10% provided that:
c. There are no officer vacancies in the section concerned.
d. No other section is below the permitted minimum cadet strength.
e. Any excess is held for no more than 6 months. Beyond 6 months, a revision
of the establishment is to be requested by the Contingent Commander.
2.7.2.
Minimum figures. To ensure that sections are of such a size as to justify the cost of
Service support, the following minimum figures are to be applied when authorising the
establishment of a contingent/section and when judging continued viability:
f. The minimum strength of a contingent comprising 3 sections is 85 cadets.
g. The minimum strength of a contingent comprising 2 sections is 60 cadets.
h. The minimum strength of a contingent comprising a single section is
50 cadets.
i. Where there is more than one section in a contingent, the minimum strength
of the Army section is 35 cadets.
j. The minimum strength of any RN/RM/RAF section within a contingent is 25
cadets.
2.8. Officer
establishments
2.8.1.
Section officers. The establishment of section officers is determined by the JCS in
accordance with the following scale:
Cadet Strength
Officer Establishment
Lieutenant/
Captain or
Minimum Maximum
2nd Lieutenant or
Equivalent
Equivalent
25 35 2
36 60 1 1

7
Sec JCS should check establishments annually to confirm that they remain within 10% of the
parade strength of each Section.
2.8.2.
Contingent Commander and Second-in-Command. Contingents of 2 or more
sections will have a post separately established for a Contingent Commander. Where the
cadet establishment/strength is 100 or more, this post will be in the rank of major or
equivalent. A single-section CCF unit is not, by definition, established for the post of
Contingent Commander, but in large single-section schools where the cadet strength is
consistently over 150, the established Section Commander post may be upgraded to major
or equivalent. In any case, the senior established officer of a single-section unit will be
referred to as a Contingent Commander. Contingents of 2 or more sections and an
establishment/strength of 200 or more cadets will be entitled to recommend that one of the
Section Commanders be promoted to the paid rank of major or equivalent if they act in
addition as second-in-command.
2.9. Additional posts and supernumeraries
2.9.1.
Head. Where the Head of a school wishes to take an active part in running the CCF
and hold a commission/appointment, an additional post will be added to the establishment
for this purpose. The rank held by the Head will be as agreed with the appropriate single
Service.
2.9.2.
Supernumeraries. There will be occasions when it is sensible to allow a temporary
excess of officers over establishment to accommodate officers on transfer or volunteers from
within the staff. In all cases, written justification of the need is to be passed by Contingent
Commanders to the Secretary JCS who will obtain prior approval from the single Service
concerned.
2.9.3.
Civilian Instructors (CIs). CIs do not form part of a contingent establishment, do not
wear uniform and, irrespective of the Section they work with, must be registered with Army
Fmn HQ.
2.10. Adjustments of establishments
2.10.1. Establishments may be adjusted by the JCS for the following reasons:
a. At the request of the Contingent Commander. Requests for increased
establishments will be considered by the JCS in consultation with the
appropriate single Service.
b. When the number of officers in a section falls below establishment. As an
interim measure, the JCS may require that cadet strength is restricted to a
ratio of no more than 40 cadets to each officer. However, if after a year, the
officer establishment remains unfilled, the establishment will be reduced.
c. When the cadet strength falls significantly below the establishment and
seems likely to remain so. The JCS will invite the Contingent Commander to
propose a more realistic figure at or above the minimum quoted in Para 3.9.
2-4
link to page 4
2.11. Contingent staff
2.11.1. A contingent may have a Contingent Commander, section officers, an SSI or SSIs
and, if required, civilian instructors. A cadet under-officer may be appointed with a small
staff of cadet WOs/SNCOs, depending on the size of the contingent and provided the cadets
can be given duties corresponding to these ranks.
2.12. Section staff
2.12.1.
RN Sections. RN Sections may be organised in ‘watches’, no less than 10 strong,
divided into Parts and Sub-Divisions. Cadet NCOs, qualified in accordance with the RN
Section training syllabus, are to be held to the scale of one Leading Hand for every 3-6
cadets and one Petty Officer for every 10-16 cadets. One Coxswain may be held as senior
cadet in sections of more than 35 cadets.
2.12.2.
RM Sections. An RM Section is organised as a troop comprising 3 sections.
2.12.3.
Army Sections. The platoon, not less than 36 strong, is the basis of the Army
Section organisation, with companies formed according to the requirements of a particular
section. Within each platoon, one WO, one Sergeant, 3 Corporals and 3 Lance Corporals
will be considered normal. Within the company, one Sergeant Major and one Colour
Sergeant (Company Quarter Master Sergeant), and in the whole Section, one Under-Officer,
one Regimental Sergeant Major and one Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant will be
considered normal, provided cadets carry out duties appropriate to their rank.
2.12.4.
RAF Sections. Recommendations on the organisation and rank structure within
RAF Sections are contained in Air Cadet Publication (ACP) 22, CCF (RAF) Staff
Instructions.

CHAPTER 3
ELIGIBILITY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
3.1. Persons eligible to join the CCF
3.1.1. The following categories of people are eligible to join the CCF:
a.
Officers appointed for service in the CCF, Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) or
Royal Marines Reserve (RMR) and commissioned officers in the Territorial Army
(TA) General List Section B and Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training)
Branch (RAFVR (T)).
b.
Commissioned officers of the Reserve Forces invited to assist the CCF by the
Head – known as Attached officers.
c.
SSIs appointed by the Head and approved by Army Fmn HQ.
d.
CIs invited to assist the CCF by the Contingent Commander and approved by
the Head and Army Fmn HQ.
e.
Cadets in at least Year 8 who are pupils of schools, colleges or 6th form
colleges where the CCF is based or from a MOD recognised partnership.
3.2. Eligibility
criteria
3.2.1.
CCF officers. A candidate for appointment to a CCF commission or a CCF RNR/
RMR ‘time only’ appointment, must satisfy the following criteria in addition to those laid out in
JSP 814. All uniformed staff must hold a CRB (Enhanced) clearance (or equivalent in
Scotland and Northern Ireland) issued within the previous 5 years under the auspices of the
school. Should a Head not require to renew the CRB clearance for one of their Contingent
staff, the s-Service HQ will take on this responsibility.
3.2.2.
Head’s recommendation. Applicants must be personally recommended by the Head.
3.2.3.
Attached reserve force officers. Officers who already hold a commission in the
Reserves may, in addition, be attached for service in a CCF contingent provided that:
a.
They are approved by the Head.
b.
They are able to do justice to both appointments and have approval from the
Commanding Officer of their Reserve Unit.
c.
The Reserve liability has precedence. The CCF attachment will be cancelled
in the event of ‘call-out’.
d.
They have valid enhanced CRB clearance.
3.2.4.
Dual-appointed cadet force officers. An officer who already has a commission/
appointment with one of the single-Service community-based cadet forces may, in addition,
have an appointment in the CCF provided that the conditions in sub-paras 3.3a and 3.3b
above are met.
3.2.5.
SSIs. SSIs are employees of the school appointed by the Head, but their appointment
is subject to Army Fmn HQ approval. Should a Bde not support the preferred choice of a
school they should do so in writing giving a full explanation of their reasoning. They will
normally be retired Warrant Officers (WOs) or Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs)
3-1
of any Service, although suitable candidates without a Service background may be
considered. Army Fmn HQ may authorise a school to appoint more than one SSI, but
remuneration will be restricted to that allowed for a single SSI. However, a SSI may, with
the approval of the appropriate Army Fmn HQ, carry out SSI duties at more than one school
and receive remuneration from each.
3.2.6.
CIs. CIs may be invited by the Contingent Commander, with the approval of the Head,
to assist with specialised aspects of training when CCF officers are not available with the
necessary knowledge. Such individuals must hold an enhanced CRB clearance issued
within the previous 5 years and be formally registered with the Army Fmn HQ
3.2.7.
Cadets. Pupils of the school or from a school with a MOD recognised partnership with
the school who are in at least Year 8 are eligible to join the CCF under the policy directed by
the Head and within the numbers authorised in the CCF establishment. On a case-by-case
basis, Heads may give written approval for individuals who are not from a partnership school
to join their Contingent. It is expected that cadets should stay for a minimum of 2 years to
complete the proficiency syllabus. Since maximum benefit is to be gained by rising to be a
cadet NCO in the CCF, older cadets should be encouraged to remain in the CCF after this
minimum period of time. Cadets should be allowed to remain in the CCF until the end of the
summer holiday of their final year in school, at the discretion of the head.
3.3. Application
procedures
3.3.1.
CCF officers, attached officers and dual-appointed officers. Application
procedures for officers are in the appropriate single-Service supplements at the end of this
Manual. Delays will inevitably occur if these procedures are not strictly followed.
3.3.2.
SSIs. The procedures for the appointment of SSIs are at Annex A.
3.3.3.
CIs. Applications to appoint CIs are to be made in writing to Army Fmn HQ .
3.4. Publication of CCF appointments
3.4.1.
Contingent commanders. Officers appointed by Heads to command contingents are
to be approved by the JCS who publish the appointments to the CCF branches of the
Services.
3.4.2.
Section Commanders Officers are appointed to the post of Section Commander by
the Contingent Commander on the agreement of the Head and approval of single Services
who will circulate the appointment to JCS.
3.4.3.
Section officers. The authority for CCF officers’ commissions/appointments is the
appropriate single-Service Headquarters, and the procedures are contained in the single-
Service supplements at the end of this Manual or ACP 22 for the CCF (RAF).
3.4.4.
SSIs. Army Fmn HQ will approve the appointments of SSIs and authorise their
entitlement to pay from MOD (Army) funds.
3.4.5.
CIs. Army Fmn HQ are to approve and publish the appointments of CIs who are
authorised to be reimbursed from contingent public funds.
3.5. General conditions of service for CCF officers and attached and dual-appointed
officers
3.5.1.
The conditions of service of CCF officers are the same for attached and dual-
appointed officers and approximate to those of the respective Service Reserve Forces. They
will therefore differ between individual Services. Commissioned officers serving on the TA
3-2
General List Section B and as RAFVR (T) officers are subject to the Army and Air Force Acts
respectively. Officers serving on ‘time only’ appointments in the RNR and RMR are not
subject to the Naval Discipline Act and remain responsible for their conduct to their Heads.
3.6. Ranks on commissioning/appointment
3.6.1.
Newly commissioned/appointed officers with no previous commissioned/appointed
service will be given the rank of Army 2nd Lieutenant or equivalent. Officers with previous
commissioned/appointed service may be given the substantive rank of Army Lieutenant, or
equivalent, at the discretion of the appropriate Service authority
3.7. Probation
3.7.1. Officers with no previous commissioned/appointed service are to serve a minimum of 2
years and complete certain mandatory training before promotion to the substantive rank of
Army Lieutenant, or equivalent. Details of the training required are in the Service
supplements
3.8. Promotion
3.8.1. A CCF officer can be given paid acting rank above the rank of Army Lieutenant or
equivalent in the following circumstances.
a.
When filling a post established in a higher rank.
b.
When filling a Section Commander post and/or acting as 2IC contingent.
c.
By meeting the criteria for time promotion for Contingent or Section
Commander.
3.8.2. Officer posts in a contingent are established in the Army ranks of Lieutenant, Captain
and Major or their equivalents. An officer who has completed his/her qualifying service and is
appointed by the Head or Contingent Commander to an established post in a higher rank will
be entitled to the appropriate paid acting rank.
3.9. Time
promotion
3.9.1. CCF officers are eligible for time promotion to paid acting rank as follows
a.
Paid acting rank of Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent. Time promotion
to Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent applies only to a Contingent Commander whose
rank, by establishment, is Major or equivalent and who has a total of 20 years’
cumulative commissioned or appointed service including a minimum of 10 years’
commissioned or appointed service with the Cadet Forces.
b.
Paid acting rank of Major or equivalent. Time promotion to the rank
of Major or equivalent applies only to a Contingent Commander whose rank by
establishment is Captain (Army) or equivalent and who has a total of 13 years’
cumulative commissioned or appointed service, including a minimum of 5 years’
commissioned or appointed service with the Cadet Forces.
c.
Paid acting rank of Captain (Army) or equivalent. Time promotion to
Captain (Army) or equivalent applies only to a Section Commander whose rank by
establishment is Army Lieutenant or equivalent and who has a total of 5 years’
cumulative commissioned or appointed service, including a minimum of 3 years’
commissioned or appointed service with the Cadet Forces
3-3
3.9.2. CCF officers are entitled to time promotion to the unpaid acting rank of Captain (Army)
or equivalent on completion of 9 years’ commissioned or appointed service with the Cadet
Forces. Promotion to the unpaid acting rank of Major or equivalent may be approved after a
further 11 years’ service for those officers filling the post of Section Commander.
3.10. Retention of rank on change of post or reduction of establishment
3.10.1. On change of post within a contingent, including being made supernumerary or
relinquishing the posts of Contingent or Section Commander, or on transfer to another
contingent, officers may apply to retain their worn (acting unpaid) rank, provided it is not
higher than that of the new Contingent Commander and it has his/her agreement. In all
cases, the paid rank will be that of the established post filled by the officer following the
change of post or reduction in establishment.
3.11. Paid rank for supernumerary posts
3.11.1. The paid rank for officers held supernumerary is to be no higher than Lieutenant or
equivalent
3.12. Application for changes of rank
3.12.1. Procedures for effecting changes are in the Service supplements
3.13. Transfers
3.13.1.
General. Applications for transfers are to be initiated by the Commander of the
contingent which the officer is leaving. They are also subject to the approval of the
contingent commander of the receiving contingent. Procedures are in the Service
supplements
3.13.2.
To another contingent. Officers may transfer to another contingent provided the
receiving Contingent Commander and single-Service HQs agree and there is an established
vacancy or the single Service agrees to their being held supernumerary.
3.13.3.
To another Service section with the CCF. Officers must apply for a
Commission/appointment in the other Service and must resign their existing
Commission/appointment.
3.13.4.
To another cadet force within their Service. Officers may transfer to another
cadet force of their Service with the agreement of the receiving cadet force authority.
However, provided the relevant authorities approve, it is permitted for an officer to do duty
with both cadet forces within a Service.
3.13.5.
To the Non-Effective Pool (NEP). Where officers leave contingents and cannot
immediately gain a new CCF post, they may apply to transfer to their Service’s non-effective
pool for up to 12 months. MOD will not accept liability nor provide any remuneration for
officers in the non-effective pool. If at the end of 12 months officers cannot resume CCF
duty, their commission/appointment will be relinquished.
3.14. Retirement and resignation
3.14.1. Officers may apply to retire or resign their commission/appointment at any time.
Officers are encouraged to submit their resignation in writing at least a month before the
effective date, stating their reasons. This information may be used to advise future recruiting
campaigns and for statistical purposes. Resignation within 3 years of appointment may
require the officer to refund all or part of any uniform allowance. Procedures for retirement
3-4
or resignation are in the Service supplements. Officers will not be able to resign if they are
currently undergoing investigation.
3.14.2.
Leave of absence. Any request for leave of absence is to be considered in the light
of the school policy.
3.15. Suspension
3.15.1. The Contingent Commander is to notify immediately the relevant s-Service HQ
should any uniformed member of their Contingent staff be the subject of a police
investigation or be suspended from school or Contingent duties. Such notification is to
include the reasons for suspension. Where appropriate the s-Service HQ may then issue a
letter of suspension, without prejudice, from Cadet activities. Where an officer’s commission
has been terminated for child protection, criminal or disciplinary reasons, the individual will
not normally be allowed to re-apply to join a Cadet Force. The JCS should be informed by
the appropriate single Service.
3.16. Termination of service
3.16.1. A commission/appointment may be terminated at any time in accordance with single-
Service regulations, usually on account of one or more of the following:
a. Misconduct.
b. Inefficiency.
c. Unsuitability.
d. Medical
Unfitness.
e.
Failure to carry out the duties or training courses for which appointed.
f.
No suitable post available.
g.
After a period of 12 months in the Non-effective Pool (NEP).
3.16.2. Single Services may terminate the commissions of an officer for misconduct, without
issuing any warning, where the circumstances warrant. The Head should normally be
consulted on the actions being proposed by the single Service HQ. Any officer who fails to
undertake mandatory initial training within a reasonable period (normally 2 years) may also
have their commission terminated.
3.16.3. Before recommending the termination of a commission/appointment, Contingent
Commanders are to ensure that they consult fully with their Head, and where contingents
involve several schools, with the Head of the individual involved. Contingent Commanders
must then ensure warnings are given to individuals for reasons given in 3.35b to 3.35f
above. These warnings are to be given in writing (mandatory) and orally if wished, and
should state that the individual’s suitability to remain in the CCF is in question or that the
availability of a suitable post is in question. The individual is also to be advised, where
appropriate, of the area of concern and given the opportunity to improve or answer any
points the Contingent Commander may have, before termination of a commission/
appointment is effected in accordance with the regulations below:
a.
If an officer is inefficient or unsuitable and it is considered by the School to be
essential to terminate their commission/appointment, the Contingent Commander is
3-5
to submit a manuscript report to the appropriate single-Service HQ. The officer
concerned must see and initial the report, or, if this is not possible, the reason must
be stated.
b.
When an officer fails to carry out a CCF duty, the Contingent Commander is
to make every effort to discover the reason. If the explanation given is inadequate or
if letters to the officer are unanswered, then the officer is to be informed by letter sent
recorded delivery that it is intended to recommend termination of their
commission/appointment. The officer is to be reminded of their right to submit a
representation for consideration by MOD and warned that if none has been received
by a given date, the case will be decided without further delay. A period of 2 weeks
should be given for an officer resident in the UK, but this may be suitably extended
for an officer who has temporarily moved abroad.
c.
On receipt of the representation, or on expiry of the period allowed for reply,
the Contingent Commander is to submit a full manuscript report to the appropriate
single-Service HQ with a recommendation of the action to be taken. When dealing
with failure to carry out training obligations, the date of the last training undertaken
should be stated. A copy of the warning letter and any other relevant
correspondence should be attached to the report.
d.
If on the receipt of the report the single-Service Commander considers that
the case should be forwarded to the Secretary JCS, their recommendation is to be
added
3.17. Clearance certification
3.17.1.
Before officers are allowed to retire, resign or relinquish their commission/
appointment, the Contingent Commander is to certify that all contingent claims have been
paid and that there are no outstanding claims on account of uniform allowance or other
services.
3.18. Complaints
3.18.1. If persons who are subject to Military Law (Army and RAF Section officers) believe
that they have been wronged in any matter relating to their Service, they may make a
complaint with respect to that matter to the Contingent Commander. Such complaints are to
be submitted in writing and any explanation or other evidence that may be necessary for the
complaint to be properly investigated is to be annexed to it.
3.18.2. The Contingent Commander is to inform the single-Service cadet authorities of the
complaint and then proceed to deal with the complaint if he/she has the authority to do so. If
the Contingent Commander deals with the complaint, the single-Service cadet authority is to
be informed of the decision in writing. If the Contingent Commander is unable to resolve the
matter or considers that the complaint should not be upheld, it is to be referred immediately
to the single-Service HQ for further action, stating that he/she does not have the authority to
deal with the matter or the reasons why the complaint should not be upheld.
3.18.3. A Contingent Commander who wishes to make a complaint is to submit it directly to
the single-Service HQ.
3.18.4. Before officers submit a complaint, they should think carefully whether they have the
right to the redress they are seeking. For example, officers have no right to be promoted;
the right which they have is that the case should be considered fairly. RN Section officers
are not subject to the Naval Discipline Act. However, should they wish to make a complaint,
the Contingent Commander is to seek advice immediately from HQ CCF (RN) on how to
proceed.
3-6

3.18.5. Complaints about the Contingent Commander are to be made to the Head who
should consult with the appropriate single-Service HQs.
3.19. General conditions of service for School Staff Instructors (SSIs) and Civilian
Instructors (CIs)
3.19.1.

CHAPTER 4
BIENNIAL REVIEWS AND PRE-INSPECTIONS
4.1. Purpose
4.1.1.
A CCF Contingent has to demonstrate that it is achieving the training aims and
meeting its obligations as described in this manual in order to retain financial and materiel
support from the MOD. Contingents will, therefore, be subjected to a continuous process of
examination by Service liaison and training staffs and inspected formally, including a review
by a senior Service officer, on a biennial basis. The aim of the Biennial Inspection procedure
is to assist Army Fmn HQ commanders, RN, RM and RAF HQ to assess the efficiency of a
contingent and determine its continued entitlement to MOD funded grants.
4.2. Planning and coordination
4.2.1. The JCS will publish and maintain a schedule of biennial inspections which will identify
the Service responsible for nominating a senior Reviewing Officer (RO). Army Bde HQs are
responsible for coordinating the timing of the pre-inspection visit(s) and the Review, and
preparation of a brief for the RO. The pre-inspections are to be carried out by RN and RM
liaison staff, the CTT and AAs and the RAF TEST staff, as appropriate to the representation
of Service sections within the contingent. They are to be planned and conducted over the
course of the normal working visits throughout the 2-year period. The pre-inspection
procedure is to culminate in a final staff visit for discussion and confirmation with contingent
staff of items to be raised in the pre-inspection reports. The pre-inspection is to be
completed and the report submitted in ample time for Service HQ staff to consider it and for
the Army Fmn staff to prepare the brief for the RO prior to the date of the Review.
4.3. Pre-Inspection Army Fmn HQ action
4.3.1. The Army Fmn HQ is to agree with the contingent dates for the pre-inspection and the
Review. Where it is the responsibility of the RN and RAF to conduct the Review, the Service
HQ is to be advised of the date and is to pass to the appropriate Army Fmn HQ the name,
appointment and contact address of the RO. The Army Fmn HQ is then to coordinate the
arrangements for the pre-inspection, inspection format, brief and the Review.
4.3.2. Army Fmn HQ are to forward to Contingent Commanders the blank Army Form B153-
B and request them to return the completed form at least 6 weeks prior to the Review.
4.3.3. Army Fmn HQ are to collate the pre-Inspection Reports into a Brief for the RO.
4.4. Purpose and conduct of pre-inspections
4.4.1. The purpose of the pre-inspection of a CCF Contingent is to render a factual report on
the ability of the contingent and single-Service sections to meet the aims of the CCF.
4.4.2. The pre-inspection is to be conducted by Service training/liaison staff who regularly
visit the contingent throughout the 2-year reporting period. Staff are to survey the activities
and procedures of their section during the course of their normal working visits, referring to
the checklist at Annex A for guidance.
4.4.3. Inspecting staff are to bear in mind that the CCF is a partnership between the schools
and the Services and that their role is to render support and advice to the school authorities.
Service staff are not merely external inspectors, but supporting partners and professional
advisers to the CCF. Where there are inadequacies in organisation or training, inspecting
staff are to offer recommendations for improvement and report when and to whom these
were made.
4-1
4.5. Reports
4.5.1. The pre-inspection report is to cover:
a. Contingent
organisation.
b. Contingent
training.
c.
Service section organisation and training.
d.
Specialist section sponsor reports.
4.5.2. Particular attention is to be paid to the following aspects:
a.
Levels of adult supervision.
b.
The number of cadets undergoing proficiency training and comment on any
significant shortfalls from minimum numbers or establishment.
c.
Proficiency, advanced proficiency and annual training.
d.
Balance of military to adventurous training at 60% to 40%.
e.
Ratio of qualified cadet NCOs and standard of leadership training.
4.5.3.
If any of these core elements are less than satisfactory, recommendations as to
remedial action are to be made immediately and, if unresolved, an UNSATISFACTORY
assessment made in the staff report along with further recommended remedial action.
4.5.4. Following their pre-inspection, staffs are to summarise their report at the appropriate
paragraph of Form AF B153-B, including their assessment of a section’s organisation,
training and administration along with any recommendations for improvements.
4.6. Biennial Review by a senior officer
4.6.1.
Aim. The aim of the Review is to:
a.
Assess the overall morale and well-being of the contingent.
b.
Provide a focus for the contingent’s training programme and an opportunity
for the contingent to display its achievements. A background brief on the CCF for
ROs is held by Army Bde HQ.
4.6.2.
Format. The format of the Review is to be agreed between the Contingent
Commander and the RO, but it may be carried out in one, or a combination, of the following
ways:
a.
A Guard of Honour or Quarter Guard followed by a working inspection of the
contingent. This has a balance of ceremonial and non-ceremonial and should be
arranged to allow the RO to speak to as many officers and cadets as possible. It
may be carried out either in the school grounds or on a neighbouring training area.
b.
A working inspection of contingent training which concentrates the Review on
the training achieved by the contingent. Activities should be arranged to allow the
RO to speak to as many officers and cadets as possible. It may be carried out either
in the school grounds or on a neighbouring training area.
4-2
link to page 4
c.
A ceremonial parade of the whole contingent. It must be recognised that this
form of review is time and manpower intensive and may be at the expense of
training. This may also inhibit the contingent from displaying the overall training
standards achieved.
4.6.3.
The RO’s address. If the Contingent Commander wishes the RO to address the
contingent at the end of the programme, he/she should advise the RO beforehand.
4.6.4.
Aide-de-camp. The School may wish to invite an appropriate junior officer, who may
be a former pupil, to attend the Review in the capacity of ADC to the senior officer.
Arrangements are to be made by the school direct with the Service authority concerned, and
the school is to keep the RO and Army Fmn HQ informed.
4.6.5.
Report by RO. Following the Review, the RO will be asked to complete a brief
narrative report summarising his perceptions of the contingent’s performance and well-being.
ROs are not expected to become involved in controversial matters, but their comments on
issues raised in staff inspection reports are welcome.
4.6.6.
Post-Review procedure. On receipt of the RO’s report by the Army Fmn HQ, the
inspection process is complete and Army cadet staff are to prepare a brief for their
commander. In summarising the contingent’s overall performance throughout the reporting
period, Army Fmn HQ are to bear in mind the assessments of individual Service sections
and comments by Service cadet HQ. Army Fmn HQ Commanders will determine whether
the contingent is qualified for the continued entitlement to MOD funded grants or whether
these are subject to specified remedial action by the contingent within a stated time-scale.
The AF B153-B certificate is the authority for the Army Fmn HQ to issue the annual grants.
Copies of the completed report are to be sent without delay to the school Head, HQLF,
single-Service cadet HQs and the Secretary JCS.
4.6.7.
Informal or between-years Review. If a school wishes to invite a senior officer to
review the contingent at any time other than for the Biennial Review, this may be done at the
discretion of the Head. Contingent Commanders will be responsible for the following:
a.
Sending out the invitation to the officer concerned.
b.
Agreeing the date of the visit. Visits are normally to be arranged on a regular
contingent parade day and in such a way as to cause minimum disruption to normal
training.
c.
Arranging, with the agreement of the senior officer, the programme for the
visit.
d.
Informing the Army Fmn HQ, and the cadet HQ of the senior officer’s Service,
when the invitation has been accepted. There is no requirement to submit an
Inspection Report (Army Form B153-B) for a between-years review.

CHAPTER 5
TRAINING
This chapter is to be read in conjunction with Chapters 6 and 8 of JSP 814
5.1. Organisation of CCF Training
5.1.1. As the foundation for
esprit de corps for each Service Section, it should normally
parade as a complete entity on the Contingent weekly parade night. Training for each
section should be given by NCOs of that Section. Where training is combined across
Sections, the requirements and any limitations of each Service must be taken into
consideration. Centralisation of recruit training is permitted, but should take individual
Section mandated training into consideration. Recruits should normally parade with their
individual Sections before joining any centralised training course. Section parades should
normally be in the uniform of their parent Service unless the type of training being
undertaken militates otherwise.
5.1.2. A programme should be constructed by the Contingent or Section Commanders laying
out the training to be conducted on each Section across at least the following month. The
programme should give details of the individual lessons to be delivered and the member of
staff, or cadet, instructing each lesson. This programme should be available to all instructors
at least one week in advance, to allow time for individuals to prepare their lessons. The
programme should be available to cadets on the parade day.
5.2. Parade
Timings
5.2.1. It is recommended that each Contingent should parade once per week for a minimum
period of at least 90 minutes.
5.3. Pre-CCF
training
5.4.1.
A Head may wish to introduce pre-CCF training for young pupils prior to their
enrolment into the CCF proper. The MOD has no objection to the use of CCF officers, cadet
NCOs or Service equipment for this purpose, but such training will not qualify for financial
assistance and pre-CCF pupils are not to be included in the strength returns of enrolled
cadets used for grant purposes. Consumable items such as ammunition and ORP must not
be expended on pre-CCF training. The MOD will accept no liability for such training, but
insurance cover for this group can be arranged by the CCFA, or other appropriate Insurers.
Any pre-CCF training may only be carried out on school grounds.
5.4. The role of the Cadet NCO
5.4.1. It is a fundamental principle of the CCF that Cadet NCOs should use the knowledge
and experience they have acquired to train and lead younger cadets. Suitable senior cadets
are to be encouraged to attend NCO cadre and Service leadership courses to enable them
to conduct section training.

CHAPTER 8
MOD FUNDING AND CHARGES
8.1. Contingent grants
8.1.1. CCF contingents receive grants from the Army Fmn HQs to support their training for all
sections. The Officer Commanding the appropriate Army Fmn HQ is responsible for
authorising the payment of the annual grants, subject to a satisfactory appraisal of a
contingent’s efficiency.
8.2. Establishment grant
8.2.1. The Establishment Grant is made available by HQ Land Forces (HQLF), through Army
Fmn HQs, to each contingent to meet the costs of training and administration common to all
sections.
a.
Grant Distribution by Contingent. Every contingent, regardless of size, will
receive a flat rate annually which will be set by HQLF. This is to ensure small
contingents have sufficient funds to support their organisation, where larger
contingents will be able to achieve economies of scale.
b.
Grant Distribution by Strength. There will be a variable allocation based on
a standard rate set annually by HQLF for each active cadet borne on
WESTMINSTER, whether in the Army, RN, RM or RAF..
8.3. Accounting for grants
8.3.1. The CCF financial year runs from 1 Apr to 31 Mar. Up to 25% of the total of the
Establishment Grant may be held over from one financial year to the next. Contingents are
not authorised to purchase vehicles
8.3.2. Grants must be accounted for separately from contingent private funds. CCF
contingents must open a bank account for all public monies and the Contingent Commander
is directly responsible for the sums allocated to his/her contingent. All public fund accounts
are to be fully documented and available for inspection at any time.
8.3.3. Private cheques are not to be encashed through public funds. Private and public
funds are not to be merged in one bank account nor, if held in cash, are they to be held
together in one cash box or container.
8.4. Accounting procedures
8.4.1. A guide to accounting procedures is at Annex A.

Annex A to
Chapter 8 to JSP 313
AN ACCOUNTING GUIDE FOR CONTINGENT COMMANDERS General
1.
The responsibility for auditing CCF Contingent accounts rests with the Staff and
Personnel Support (SPS) Branch at Army Fmn HQs. The basic requirement is to ensure
that expenditure from MOD grants is a fair charge and fully documented. This guide has
been prepared to assist CCF Contingent Commanders in the correct compilation of their
contingent accounts.
Principles
2.
One account is to be maintained for recording both income and expenditure in
respect of the Establishment Grant (EG).
3.
The title of a contingent account is to be ‘… CCF Contingent Public Funds Account’.
4.
The officer responsible for the account is the Contingent Commander, although any
officer may act as the account holder if authorised to do so by the Contingent Commander.
5.
The bank account must be operated for the receipt and expenditure of public funds
allotted as grants and must be kept separate from any other contingent bank accounts.
Accounting procedures
6.
A single-entry book-keeping system, either paper or electronic, is used, every entry
being made in a Cash Book, MOD Form 317 or authorised alternate cash book. The paper
book consists of 50 pairs of pages, alternately coloured white and yellow. Each pair of
pages is serially numbered and the white pages are perforated and detachable.
7.
The cash book is completed in duplicate, the top copy being the white-coloured page.
An entry is made whenever money is received or paid out, and it is important that the
account holder makes an entry at the time a transaction occurs. If a wrong entry is made, it
must be ruled through so as to remain legible and the correct figures inserted above the
original entry. The initials of the account holder must authenticate all such corrections.
8.
Receipts of money are accounted for by a simple entry, showing in an appropriate
column:
a.
The amount of money received.
b.
A number for identification purposes of the document or voucher which
verifies the authenticity of the entry (see Para 13 below).
c.
The date the money was received.
d.
From whom the money was received.
e.
Brief particulars of the purpose or service for which they money was received.
8-A-1
9.
Payments are recorded in a similar way but with an additional entry when payment is
made by cheque from the bank account to show the last 3 digits of the cheque number.
10.
Examples of cash book entries are at Appendix 1, as amplified at Appendix 2.
Particular note should be taken of how:
a.
Money received is entered in the left-hand column under the heading
‘Receipts’, and payments are entered in the right-hand column under ‘Payments’.
b.
The cash column is used if the receipt/payment is in cash and the bank
column is used for all entries affecting the bank.
c.
An entry is made when cash is obtained from or paid into the bank.
11.
The columns headed ‘Classification’ are to be left blank.
12.
Vouchers are to be obtained for each transaction, numbered in sequence from “1”
onwards, with payments and receipts collated separately. Receipt voucher numbers should
be preceded by the letters ‘RV’ to distinguish them from payment voucher numbers. A new
collation for both receipts and payments is to be started after sending the account for audit
(see Para 14 below). The exceptions to the above are:
a.
When cash is obtained from or paid into the bank. In this case, supporting
documents will be the bank statements, pass books, paying-in book and/or cancelled
cheques. (A ‘C’ standing for ‘contra’ is centred in BOTH voucher number columns of
the cash book.)
b.
When a voucher cannot be obtained from a supplier, eg road fund licences, a
signed certificate from the Contingent Commander as to the amount of purchase is
required.
13.
The CCF financial year runs from 1 Apr to 31 Mar, and although public fund accounts
are not submitted for audit as at 31 Mar, there is a requirement for the state of the balance to
be readily identifiable. Accounts are, therefore, to be balanced as at 31 Mar each year.
14.
A guide to the items of income and expenditure appropriate to a CCF Contingent
Account is at Appendices 3 and 4 respectively. They are not necessarily exhaustive and
advice should be sought from G7 (Cdts) at Regional Bde HQ, if in doubt.
15.
An example of a Bank Reconciliation Statement is at Appendix 5.
Change of account holders
16.
The officer handing over the account is to:
a.
Complete Appendix 6, which provides for 3 specimen signatures of the new
account holder, and forward a copy to the Army Fmn HQ and the bank.
b.
Request the bank to forward an up-to-date bank statement to the new
account holder.
17.
The officer taking over the account is to:
a.
Rule a line under the last entry on both the receipt and payments side of the
cash book, total all 4 columns and balance the account as shown in Appendix 1.
b.
Reconcile the bank statement with the bank balance shown in the cash book,
using the proforma at Appendix 5.
8-A-2
c.
Carry forward the verified balances. See Appendix 1.
d.
Ensure all supporting vouchers relating to transactions for the period are
present.
18.
Both officers are then to date and sign the account alongside the carry-forward
balances as having been handed/taken over. In addition to the Change of Account Holder a
Handover/Takeover Certificate at Appendix 6 is to be completed and distributed as detailed
at Para 17a.
Audit of accounts
19.
Unless the Contingent Commander has been notified otherwise, accounts are to be
submitted annually for audit. The Army Fmn HQ G7 Cdts branch is to coordinate the
programmes for the submission of contingent accounts for audit under arrangements made
by the formation SPS staff.
20.
The following action is to be taken before submitting the account for audit:
a.
Balance the account (see Appendix 1) as at the last day of the period or other
dates as notified by the Army Fmn HQ.
b.
Obtain a bank statement showing the bank balance on the account as at the
last day of the period.
c.
Agree the balances in the cash book with the bank statement (by
reconciliation if necessary – see Appendix 5) and the cash in hand.
d.
Certify the correctness of the balances on the account by the Contingent
Commander who is to endorse the account with his signature and date.
21.
When the account is submitted for audit, the following documents must be included:
a.
The white copy of each page of the MOD Form 317 or authorised alternate
cash book used.
b.
A voucher supporting each entry in the account (see Para 13).
c.
Bank statements showing entries for the full period.
d.
A certificate of postage expenditure and value of remaining stamps.
22.
Any observations raised are passed direct to Contingent Commanders for action and
copied to Army Fmn HQ G7 Cdts. Where, because of possible irregularities or
unsatisfactory maintenance of the account, it is necessary to comment on the efficiency of
the audit, a report is submitted for any follow-up action that is considered necessary. On
completion of the audit, the accounts will be returned to Contingents through the Army Fmn
HQ. On receipt of the audited account, it is to be sealed in an envelope and retained by the
contingent for 5 years.
23. Contingent Commanders who experience difficulty in connection with the
maintenance of Contingent Accounts are advised to contact Army Fmn HQ SPS Branch in
the first instance.

CHAPTER 9
REMUNERATION
9.1. CCF Officers
9.1.1. Officers are eligible to receive the rate of remuneration of their substantive or paid
acting rank for the activities authorised by Para 9.6 at the rates promulgated by MOD. CCF
remuneration is disbursed from the budgets of the single-Service Top Level Budget (TLB)
holders who are responsible for their Service support to the CCF..
9.1.2. The single Services will decide the level of remuneration dependent upon the funding
available.
9.2. SSIs
9.2.1. SSIs are remunerated at a basic daily rate irrespective of appointed rank. In addition
to any remuneration from their contract with the school and from the contingent’s grants,
SSIs are eligible to receive up to 51 days’ remuneration annually. Regardless of the number
of SSIs on a school payroll the maximum entitlement, however divided, will remain 51 days
annually.
9.3. Civilian instructors
9.3.1.
Any remuneration for Civilian Instructors is the responsibility of Contingent
Commanders. Payment is to be from the Contingent grant.
9.4. Administrative help
9.4.1. When an SSI, either full or part-time, is not available, payments from the grant of up to
25% may be made, at the discretion of the Head, to a CCF officer or another school official
who necessarily does administrative work outside school and CCF parade hours.
9.5. Activities authorised for remuneration
Officers and SSIs
9.5.1. Remuneration may be approved for the following activities subject to single-Service
funding:
a.
Reconnaissance for, and duty at, annual cadet military training, including time
spent on the collection and return of vehicles and stores.
b.
Reconnaissance for, and duty at, authorised cadet adventurous training
outside school premises, including time spent on collection and return of vehicles and
stores up to a maximum of 8 days in the UK or 10 days abroad.
c.
Authorised courses of instruction outside school premises.
d.
Duty at authorised cadet field day and weekend training activities, outside
school premises.
e.
Attendance at conferences convened by Service HQs.
f.
Duty at the CCRS annual cadet meeting.
9-1
g.
SSIs only. SSIs may draw a proportion of their annual 51-day entitlement for
time spent on CCF-related administrative tasks on school premises.
9.6. Officers awaiting commission/appointment
9.6.1. If potential officers are authorised to attend appropriate courses of instruction prior to
commissioning/appointment under single-Service arrangements, they may only do so if
appointed as Officer Cadets and will be remunerated at the OF 1 rate on the CFAV pay
scale. If required to wear uniform, they should wear the thick white officer cadet stripe
on the rank slides..
9.7. Qualifying periods of duty
9.7.1. To qualify for a day’s remuneration an officer or SSI must complete a period of out-of-
school duty between 8 hours and 24 hours, whether wholly in one day or partly in one day
and partly in another. The period of duty must include a minimum of 4 hours at the location
where the activity is taking place. For periods in excess of 24 hours, remuneration will be
made for each day (midnight to midnight) when the officer or SSI is required to attend for
8 hours duty or more and completes at least 4 hours’ attendance at the active location. For
example:
a.
Duty from 1500 hours on Friday to 1200 hours on Saturday counts as one
day (less than 24 hours).
b.
Duty from 1500 hours on Friday to 1030 hours on Sunday counts as 3 days
since the period exceeds 24 hours and attendance on each of 3 days amounts to
8 hours or more.
9.7.2. A period of duty will begin and end at school except for a camp or course which takes
place wholly during the school holidays when the period may start and end at the applicant’s
home. Travelling time included in the total duty time must be that occasioned by the means
of travel authorised in connection with the activity.
9.7.3. SSIs claiming for in-school administrative duties supporting the CCF may aggregate
half-day duties.
9.8. Methods of claiming remuneration
Officers
9.8.1. Regardless of the location or nature of the duty, CCF officers will be remunerated for
any duties approved in advance by their own Service.
9.8.2. When a Contingent Commander wishes one of his officers to perform a duty with a
Service different from that to which the officer belongs and to claim remuneration and
allowances, he/she is to obtain prior authority from the officer’s Service HQ. Applications are
to show reasons for the request, to certify that the request is in accordance with these
regulations and that the duty will not prejudice any training with the officer’s own Service.
SSIs
9.8.3. All SSIs, regardless of Service, are paid through the JPA and the claim procedure is as
for CCF (RN and Army) officers.
9.9. Income tax and national insurance
9-2
link to page 4
9.9.1. Income tax at the standard rate is deducted at source from the remuneration of officers
and of SSIs by the Service authorities. The element of SSIs’ remuneration paid from the
Contingent grant must also be taken into account for income tax purposes, and this is done
by the Contingent Commander completing the proforma at Annex A annually.
9.9.2. Earnings-related National Insurance contributions are also deducted at source whether
or not deductions are made by the normal employer. They are deducted at the percentage
rate for the Forces as directed by HMRC.
9.9.3. At the end of the tax year the Service pay authorities issue a Form P60 (Employee’s
Certificate of Pay and Tax Deductions) showing gross taxable remuneration, tax deducted
and National Insurance contributions paid.

Contingent. USOs and their assistants are to attend a Cadet Force Security Awareness
presentation or the Security Mobile Instruction Team (SMIT) Cadet Security Course under
Army Fmn HQ arrangements. G2 Sy Staff should ensure that USOs remain current and are
kept informed of any changes in security policy. Duties of a USO are summarised at LFSO
2901, Annex B.
10.2. Security risk management
10.2.1. Contingents are now required to embrace the transparency and accountability of
Corporate Governance, Security Risk Management (SRM) is a key part of this process.
Details of the actions required by Contingents are contained in LFSO 2901, Annex C.
10.3. Security surveys, inspections, and reviews
10.3.1. All CCF Contingents are subject to a Protective Security Survey (PSS) by the local
Military Intelligence (MI) Section on formation or on change of location. Security Inspections
are carried out on a cyclic programme dictated by unit category. Protective Security
Advisory Visits (PSAVs) will be carried out on request and an Establishment Annual Review
of Security (EARS) is to be completed by a Sponsor establishment/unit officer or SNCO
nominated by Army Fmn HQ. These inspections and reviews are to take place as follows:
a.
Category C1 establishments (holding full bore weapons).
(1)
Inspection – every 5 years.
(2)
EARS – annually (except for any year in which a PSS or Security
Inspection is carried out). The subject headings and format at LFSO 2901,
Annex F are to be used.
b.
Category C2 establishments (holding small bore weapons).
(1)
Inspection – every 6 years.
(2)
EARS – annually (except for any year in which a PSS or Security
Inspection is carried out). The subject headings and format at LFSO 2901,
Annex G are to be used.
10.4. Security of training manuals and pamphlets
10.4.1.
All military training manuals and pamphlets, many protectively marked
RESTRICTED, are of potential value to terrorists. The following precautions are to be taken:
a.
A library list of contingent holdings is to be maintained, and the first and last
pages are to be stamped with the contingent stamp. Where the document is loose
leafed, a unit stamp is to be placed on at least 6 other pages within each manual.
11-1
link to page 4
b.
Contingent holdings are to be stored under lock and key. Manuals are only to
be issued to individuals with a proven need to know, and a system for recording
issues and receipts is to be operated. This will be audited during the EARS.
c.
Individuals holding manuals or pamphlets are to keep them in a safe place
when not in use, and are to ensure that unauthorised persons cannot access them;
records of issues are to be checked monthly and the documents returned when no
longer required.
d.
Holdings are to be returned when no longer required.
10.5. Overseas travel restrictions and directions
10.5.1. CCF officers are (in common with Regular and TA Servicemen and most Civil
Servants) to report their intention, whether on civilian business or holiday, to visit or pass
through any of the countries to which Special Security Regulations apply (CSSRA), or to use
transport controlled by CSSRA. Further guidance is given in LFSO 2901,
Paras 901.038-041.

a.
Applicants with no previous commissioned or appointed service for
appointments as (CCF) RN and RM officers are to:
(1)
Complete form CCF (N) 11, obtain the endorsement of the Head and
Contingent Commander and forward to HQ CCF RN.
(2)
Be interviewed by an HQ CCF RN Officer or, in the case of RMR
(CCF) applicants, by SO (RM)YT.
b.
Applicants with previous commissioned service in the RN or RNR, or
appointed service in SCC or CCF (RN), are to provide details of their previous
service on application Form CCF (N) 11. Previous service will be taken into account
in determining their date of seniority and may absolve them from the qualifying period
for promotion and the need to attend the Officers’ Initial Training Course.
c.
Applicants with previous commissioned service other than in the Naval
service, including previous service as Army or RAF officers in the CCF, are to apply
on Form CCF (N) 11 providing details of their previous service. This service will
backdate the date of seniority and absolve them from the qualifying period for
promotion.
d.
Applicants holding commissions in the RNR or RMR or appointment in SCC
who are seeking to assist a CCF (RN) Section are to apply in writing to HQ CCF RN -
enclosing the request for this service from the Head concerned and approval from
the Commanding Officer of the RNR, RMR or SCC Unit to which the applicant is
attached.
Authorising authority
11.
The authority for first appointments, promotions to substantive Sub Lieutenant (CCF)
RNR, or Lieutenant (CCF) RMR and resignations is the Naval Secretary, delegated to COS
Youth and Cadets.
Officer training
12.
Qualifying training for promotion.
a.
(RN) Officers’ Initial Course. Applicants with no previous commissioned/
appointed service in the RN Regular, Reserve or Cadet Forces are to attend the
Officers’ Initial Course at BRNC Dartmouth in the first year of their appointment.
b.
CCF (RN) Officers’ Advanced Course. All newly appointed Officers are
required to attend the Officers’ Advanced Course at HMS Excellent, Portsmouth in
the first two years of their appointment.
c.
CCF (RN) Officers’ Training. All newly appointed officers are also expected
to attend one annual training period during their first two years - either as a HQCCF
(RN) Divisional Officer or, if appropriately qualified, as an Instructor in the activity
being undertaken.
RN-S-4
d.
CCF (RM) Officers are to attend the CTCRM Introductory Course, and the
CCF Basic Course and the CCF Advanced Course at CTC Frimley Park.
Promotions
13.
When applying for promotion on behalf of their CCF (RN) Officers, Contingent
Commanders are to write to HQ CCF (RN) certifying that the Officer is entitled to the new
rank in accordance with Paras 4.19-4.33 and giving the effective date. HQ CCF (RN) will
confirm this with Secretary JCS and issue an appropriate notice (OAL).
Transfers
14.
When a (CCF) RNR Officer wishes to transfer from one Contingent to another the
Commander of the Contingent that the Officer is leaving is to write to HQ CCF (RN) giving a
date for the transfer.
Resignations
15.
Officers who wish to resign their appointment are to write through their Contingent
Commanders to HQ CCF (RN) giving the reason, an effective date and, if appropriate, the
case for retention of their rank. When a Contingent Commander wishes to resign the above
actions should be taken by the Head.
Cadet Forces Medal
16.
Officers and SSIs who become eligible for the Cadet Forces Medal (CFM) or
Clasp(s) are to apply to their Contingent Commander who is to complete CCF Form 15 and
forward it to HQ CCF (RN) for verification and subsequent despatch to the MoD Medal Office
for issue.
The officer’s functions
17.
The CCF Officer’s first function is to inspire and instil a clearly recognisable spirit of
disciplined enthusiasm for the aim of the CCF (RN) into his/her RN Cadets. Training by and
experience of the Service is necessary if he/she is to do so with confidence. He/she should
aim to acquire as much knowledge as possible of Service practice commensurate with the
discharge of his/her prime civilian functions.
18.
The second function is to deliver a training plan to enable all cadets in his charge to
progress towards meeting the aim under the main headings of personal discipline, practical
activities and professional knowledge.
19.
The third function is administrative, in support of the first two, with the aim of ensuring
that activities are run efficiently and that the Section is therefore well motivated and cheerful
as well as busy. Time is invariably at such a premium that this function is of the greatest
importance.
20.
Lastly, the CCF Officer is the link between Cadet, HQ CCF (RN) and the Parent
Establishment’s organisation. It is crucial to the success of an RN Section within a school
that he/she should establish, and then maintain, good communication for the benefit of all.
Officers’ qualifying courses
21.
CCF (RN) officers are required to complete the Officers’ Initial Course (OIC) at the
Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth within one year of joining. Attendance is a pre-
requisite for confirmation in the rank as Sub-Lieutenant. HQ CCF (RN) may excuse those
with appropriate recent Service experience. Thereafter, officers are expected to complete
RN-S-5
the Officers’ Advanced Course (OAC) and attend an RN course as Directing Staff as soon
as practicable but within two years of joining. Attendance at the OAC is a pre-requisite for
appointment as Officer in Charge of an RN Section and for promotion to Lieutenant.
RN camps and courses – officer participation
22.
Officers may expect to be required to help run, or act as Divisional Officers on, RN
Cadet courses at least every second year on a mutually agreeable date. Divisional duties
involve the Officer concerned in assuming responsibility for the overall care of Cadets on
Course so that he/she thereby gains experience and knowledge of that activity. Additionally,
Divisional Officers are responsible to the host unit’s Executive Officer (via the
Establishment’s Cadet Training Officer if appropriate) for ensuring that Cadets receive
maximum benefit from their training and for their behaviour, appearance, morale and welfare
throughout their time on their Camp or Course.
23.
To ensure continuity of instructional Staff for CCF (RN) activities, Officers are
encouraged to obtain qualifications – both afloat and ashore – commensurate with individual
interests and aptitudes.
Not Under Command Club

Notes:
1.
Form CCF (N) 31 is to be submitted on all occasions of requesting a visit so that budgetary
approval may be given in advance. Applications for training facilities afloat and ashore in the
Portsmouth Command, including bids for ship/shore visits, accommodation, victualling and transport,
should be made to CACTO, Portsmouth as early as practicable. Sections are advised to make
contact with CACTO, where appropriate, as the very first step in the planning process. A minimum
period of 6 weeks is required to arrange the above facilities. Longer notice will increase the chances
of facilities being made available on the day requested and in the numbers sought.
2.
Approval is notified to sections by despatch from HQ CCF (RN) of a duplicate copy of CCF
(N) 31 and later in the form of a detailed programme. The CACTO/hosting Unit programme will give
meal/victualling arrangements and other relevant details. It is advisable for the OIC of Sections
visiting an Establishment for the first time to telephone the officer supervising their programme a few
days before the visit to discuss equipment requirements and provision.
RN-S-7
3.
The inclusion of female Officers/Cadets in sea or shore training visits is to be specified on the
application form.
28.
CCF (RN) Officers are encouraged to take available opportunities for their cadets to
visit RN ships, alongside or at sea.
29.
Subject to the concurrence of the Commanding Officer, the purpose of the visit
should be for cadets to experience, ideally at sea, a day in the life of a warship. This may be
achieved by spending time with individual departments and, where conditions allow,
undertaking as many “hands on tasks” as possible.
Annual training
30.
Camps and courses. A programme of camps and courses organised by HQ CCF
(RN) for cadets and officers is published annually in the Autumn for the following year. The
programme is described at Annex B to the RN Supplement. CCF(RN) Sections may carry
out independent (self-help) camps with authority from HQ CCF (RN).
Procedure for travel
31.
Budget UIN. The budget UIN to be used by Naval Sections is UIN N3008A.
32.
Rail warrants are tri-Service items. Warrant books are issued and audited by Army
CCF Staff through the Cadet Administrative Assistant.

Dress
35.
Standards. Officers and cadets in uniform represent the Royal Navy to the school
and to the public. In their dress and appearance they must strive at all times to meet the
Naval standard, which may be summed up as requiring personnel to be dressed in the
correct uniform; that clothing worn be in good repair, clean and pressed; that all
distinguishing marks of rank be neatly and correctly worn; that the overall impression is one
of care to be as smart as the job in hand allows. Officers-in-Charge are to ensure that
standards of Service dress and appearance are both set and exemplified by their own
officers, impressed on cadets and encouraged as a means of instilling pride in their
association with the Service. It is an important foundation in the acquisition by cadets of
discipline from their earliest days in the RN Section.
36.
Hair length. By special dispensation CCF cadets’ hair length may exceed Service
regulation to the extent that:
a.
It does not hang over the collar.
b.
Sideburns must not extend below the ear.
c.
Hair must be kept clear of the ears; be tucked under the beret in front and be
tidy with ends trimmed.
d.
Females are to wear their hair up.
Note: CCF (RN) Officers and SSIs are not permitted to wear moustaches without
beards.

Naval stores and accounting instructions
Responsibilities for RN Stores Accounting
41.
For CCF (RN) Sections the Naval Stores custodian is the Officer-in-Charge of the
Section. The duties may be delegated but responsibility to the Service for the Stores
account remains with the Officer-in Charge.
42.
Initial issue.
For the initial issue of stores, other than clothing, a Permanent Loan
Record (PLR) will be opened by the Logistics Officer (Stores) (LO(S)) – normally of the
Parent Establishment. Two copies will be printed, and forwarded to the Officer-in-Charge
RN Section. The Officer-in-Charge should muster the stores and, if satisfied that the
quantities on the PLR are correct, sign one copy of the PLR and return it to the LO(S). The
second copy of the PLR should be retained by the Officer-in-Charge. Copies of the PLR can
be obtained from the LO(S) at any time.
43.
Additional issues.
Requests for replacement stores, or stores in excess of the
authorised scale, should be sent in writing to the LO(S) stating the reasons for the
requirement. The LO(S) will, if necessary, get approval from HQ CCF (RN) and will raise a
demand on the stores OASIS system. When stores are supplied, the issuing Naval Base or
Depot concerned will issue the stores accompanied by a D1200/AFG8614 direct to the
Officer-in-Charge RN Section. These should be dealt with as follows:
a.
Form D1200/AFG8614 received with stores is to be signed by the Officer-in-
Charge as evidence of receipt. The D1200/AFG8614 should then be sent to the
LO(S) for posting onto the Permanent Loan Record (PLR). An up to date copy of the
PLR will then be sent to the Officer-in Charge.
b.
Form D1200 (Copy No 3) is used as an identification label for the stores and
may be destroyed by the Contingent when no longer required.
c.
MOD Form 458 – Issue Transaction Summary – detailing all issues made to
each section is sent direct to the LO(S). On receipt the LO(S) will check that the
stores have been received and that the accountable items have been taken on
charge on the PLR. He will sign the certificate on the MOD Form 458 which should
be retained pending examination of the account by the Internal Audit Authority.
NB. It should be noted that the majority of clothing will not appear on the PLR, as it is
issued outright as “Consumable”.

All accountable items of stores, including clothing that is listed on the PLR, are to be
mustered annually by the LO(S). It is the Officer-in-Charge RN Section’s responsibility to
ensure that the muster takes place - naval accounting routines notwithstanding. Prior to the
muster date, the LO(S) will supply an up-to-date copy of the PLR. On completion of the
RN-S-15
link to page 4 link to page 73
muster, providing all quantities are correct, the Officer-in-Charge will be invited to sign the
PLR as correct. This copy will be returned to the LO(S) for safe keeping in the Naval Stores
Account.
Losses and deficiencies
50.
Losses.
Stores that have been damaged or worn out through “fair wear and tear”
should not be treated as losses, but, unless the cost of transport would be uneconomical,
should be returned on Form S1091 (Internal Stores Return Note) to the LO(S) for return to
the nearest Naval Base. Requests for replacement items should be made to the LO(S).
Uniform is not to be returned if it can be made serviceable by repair or cleaning. Items of
uniform that are deemed to be unserviceable should be used for dirty work and training for
events (e.g. Obstacle Courses or Night Exercises) where the risk of wear and tear is
unacceptably high for serviceable uniform items.
51.
Losses caused by neglect. If, after due enquiry, neglect is established for loss of
stores, the LO(S) will make out Form C126 (Stores Lost or Damaged) and assess the
amount to be charged. The C126 will then be sent to the Contingent for payment. Cheques
or Postal Orders should be sent to the LO(S) with all three copies of the C126. The LO(S)
will receipt copy 3 of the C126, and return it to the Contingent to support their accounts.
52.
Other losses. Where a loss is found to be due to circumstances beyond the
Contingent’s control, a C126 will be raised to adjust the account.
Return of stores
53.
Stores no longer required (ie beyond, or surplus to, the RN Section’s needs) are to
be returned to the LO(S). Stores must not be returned without prior application to the LO(S).
A form S1091 and a statement giving reasons for return, and whether or not a replacement
is required, is to accompany the consignment.
54.
If approval is given for the return of the stores, the LO(S) will raise Forms S331S
(Stores Return Note – 4 copies) and arrange for the return of the stores. When Forms
S331S are raised the stores OASIS system will automatically delete the items from the PLR.
On completion of S331S action the LO(S) will send the Officer-in-Charge an up-to-date
copy of the PLR.
55.
If a replacement is required the LO(S) will demand it on behalf of the Section.

Duties
a.
Wg Cdr CCF. Wg Cdr CCF is responsible for all policy pertaining to the
CCF(RAF), the arrangements for biennial inspections, CCF officer commissioning
and all aspects of the Air Sqn Trophy competition, instructions in ACP 22 and Branch
Routine Orders, the control of Training, Evaluation and Support Team (TEST) and
admin staff personnel and all financial matters affecting CCF(RAF) activities.
b.
Sqn Ldr CCF. Sqn Ldr CCF is responsible to Wg Cdr CCF for all aspects of
CCF RAF Annual Camps, CCF officer training courses, CCF(RAF) training, CCF
statistics and the affiliation/parenting scheme.
RAF-S-1
Affiliation 3.
Every CCF RAF Section is affiliated to a RAF Station which will be its primary point of
contact with the Service and the venue for ‘field day’ visits. Each such station will have an
Air Cadet Liaison Officer (ACLO) through whom all requests should be channelled. In
addition to an affiliated station every CCF(RAF) Section will be allocated to a RAF unit
specifically for the supply of equipment, including uniforms (parent unit). Contact with the
parent unit will usually be conducted through the CCF TEST SNCO. HQ CCF(RAF) will
arrange the affiliation/parenting to a RAF station of all CCF(RAF) sections.
Training, Evaluation and Support Team (TEST)
4.
TEST officers. 6 Squadron Leaders CCF (RAF) TEST Officers are established on
the strength of HQ Air Cadets with the specific responsibility to advise and assist RAF
Sections in all matters of training and administration. They are located on RAF Stations
within a geographical area of responsibility and should visit their CCF Contingent at least
once per term.
5.
TEST SNCOs. 18 RAF SNCOs are established to provide a regular and
comprehensive training and administrative support. They will visit RAF Sections on parade
days at regular intervals on a pre-arranged schedule.
Instructions
6.
CCF (RAF) Staff Instructions. Air Cadet Publication (ACP) No 22 CCF (RAF) Staff
Instructions is a permanent document issued by HQ Air Cadets. Its purpose is to amplify the
regulations in JSP 313 on the conduct and administration of RAF Sections of the CCF. A
fully amended copy of ACP 22 is now held on BADER, the ACO website for reference.
Individual instructions can be downloaded as required.
7.
Routine Orders. Orders and information of a temporary or short notice nature are
issued by HQ Air Cadets normally bi-monthly in the form of CCF (RAF) Branch Routine
Orders. Because these orders often include details of camps, courses and information of
wide interest, they should be displayed where they can be seen and read by section officers
and cadets. BROs are dispatched to sections electronically and loaded onto BADER for
reference.
Conferences
8.
Annual conferences for Contingent Commanders (CCs) are convened by Army Fmn
HQs. CCF(RAF) TEST area meetings are held annually for RAF Section Commanders.
TEST officers will determine the time and location of these meetings and invite agenda items
from RAF Sections. CCs and RAF Section Officers may attend these meetings and Army
Fmn staff will be invited to attend.
School and contingent organization
Commission application procedures
9.
Contingent Commanders who have candidates for RAFVR(T) commissions are to
contact HQ Air Cadets (CCF Admin) and obtain a pack-up of commissioning application
forms and instructions for completion. The following action is then required:
RAF-S-2

processing.
c.
Any medical condition which would prevent the candidate from undertaking
the full range of training activities or a condition that may be aggravated by
undertaking those duties must be declared – see Chap 10, Para 10.1. An officer who
wishes to undergo instruction in gliding is to be examined by a RAF doctor and
assessed as fit for gliding.
d.
All candidates will be interviewed by Wg Cdr CCF or a TEST officer.
e.
HQ Air Cadets will process clearances, conduct the interview and forward the
application with Chief of Staff Air Cadets (COS AC) approval to MOD for
promulgation. This process normally takes between 12 and 16 weeks.
Attached or dual-appointed officers
10.
Officers of the RAF Reserve or RAuxAF including those in the RAFVR(T)
commissioned into the Air Training Corps (ATC), wishing to do duty with the CCF are to
apply through their prospective Contingent Commander. The written approval of their
respective Officer Commanding is required in support of the request.
Authorising authority
11.
The authority for commissioning, promotion to substantive Flying Officer RAFVR(T)
and resignation is the Comdt, Air Cadets and these occurrences are published in the London
Gazette. All other personnel occurrences are authorised by HQ Air Cadets and are
published in HQ Air Cadets Movements Notices.
Conditions of service
12.

18.
Syllabus training. Cadets of RAF Sections are required to complete the training
detailed in ACP 22. The syllabus is phased broadly as follows:
a.
Basic training (Proficiency Part 1). Part 1 training for RAF Cadet recruits
consists of basic aviation related subjects, map work, turnout and drill. These topics
are tested at contingent level. A successful cadet is awarded the Part 1 Proficiency
(four-pointed star) badge. For ‘Skill at Arms Shooting and Safety’ the Contingent
Commander may enlist the help of the TEST staff and Cadet Training Team.
b.
Aviation knowledge (Proficiency Part 2). Proficiency Part 2 consists of
basic aviation subjects which are examined by HQ Air Cadets. A cadet who
successfully completes Part 2 is awarded a Proficiency Certificate and wears the Part
2 Proficiency (four-bladed propeller) badge.
c.
Advanced proficiency training. After passing proficiency RAF cadets are
encouraged to participate in further training which should be of a stimulating and
participatory nature to further develop powers of self-reliance, leadership and
responsibility. Details are in ACP 22 and are in many cases the same as those for
Naval and Army Sections. A cadet who successfully completes advanced proficiency
training is awarded the HQ AC Advanced Proficiency Certificate and wears the
Advanced Proficiency (combined star and propeller) badge.
19.
Field day training. Detailed information on the facilities and procedures for the
conduct of RAF Section training during field days and weekends is contained in ACP 22. In
summary CCF(RAF) cadets can:
a.
Gain practical flying experience by visiting the allocated Air Experience Flight
(AEF) and Volunteer Gliding Squadron (VGS).
b.
Take part in outdoor training such as map reading, leadership and
military/tactical exercises.
c.
Visit affiliated RAF stations to view facilities and fly in unit aircraft.
d.
Visit approved government or private establishments which have a training or
interest value in Service matters, preferably air-related.
e.
Take part in adventurous training activities.
Annual Training
20.
RAF Easter/Summer camps. RAF cadet camps are held at RAF Stations in the UK
and overseas under arrangements made by HQ Air Cadets. Contingent officers are
expected to run the camp programme as laid down by the station’s Air Cadet Liaison Officer
(ACLO). RAF Section cadets should attend at least 1 RAF camp, and preferably 2 or more,
during their CCF service.
21.
AT camps. AT camps are held at the National Air Cadet Adventure Training Centres
at Llanbedr in the Snowdonia National Park and Windermere in the Lake District National
Park. Whilst specific AT courses are held weekly at the centres, cadets are given a brief
introduction to a number of adventurous activities on AT camps. Officers are required to
assist on the camps.
RAF-S-4
22.
Air Cadet Leadership Courses. The Air Cadet Leadership courses provide in-
depth leadership training for cadets and are held annually at RAF Cranwell. Officers are
required to assist with the training. Detailed information on the courses can be found at
Instruction No 24 of ACP 22.
Finance
23.
The detailed guidance for all aspects of Air cadet finance is laid down in ACP 300
(available on BADER). Claims submitted without the appropriate authority or for unapproved
activities will be rejected.
Travel
24.
Travel by Rail. CCF(RAF) sections are to use their RAF allocated UIN for travel by
rail.
25.
Travel by road/air. Procedures governing the methods of travel by road are
contained in CCF(RAF) Staff Instructions (ACP 22) sections 30 and 31.
26.
Civilian vehicles hired by contingents/schools. If a hire vehicle is required to
transport CCF (RAF) cadets on duty, Sections are to arrange most cost-effective hire
bearing in mind the number of cadets to be moved.
Cadet travel
27.
Method of claiming. SCs are to complete HQ AC Accts Form 8 to reclaim travel
costs incurred in the transportation of cadets to and from organised activities. MMA and
passenger allowance will be paid for the use of SOVs. For other forms of transportation,
invoices from the company providing the conveyance are to be attached to Accts Form 8
and forwarded to HQ Air Cadets who will reimburse the school, or company concerned if the
bill has not already been cleared.
The Cadet Forces Medal
28.
Applications. Contingent Commanders are to complete the form shown at Annex A
to Chapter 11 and forward it to HQ Air Cadets.
RAF stores in support of training
29.
Accounting instructions. The supply accounting procedure for RAF equipment
used by the CCF is a modified form of the normal supply administration practice in the RAF.
This ensures that all equipment issued by the RAF or purchased from public funds is at all
times in the care of a responsible person who is to ensure that it is safeguarded, maintained
and properly used for the purpose for which it was issued or purchased until such time as
the equipment concerned is either returned to stores or otherwise disposed of as instructed
by the supply authority. Detailed procedures are contained in ACP 22.
Remuneration
Method of claiming
30.
Remuneration claims by RAFVR(T) officers are to be made on HQ AC Accts Form 80
and submitted to HQ Air Cadets as soon as possible after the duty has been carried out.
RAF-S-5
link to page 4 link to page 130
Part 1 will be completed by the officer concerned and Part 2 by the Contingent Commander
who, if it is his own claim, will indicate this in Part 2.
31.
When an officer is required to attend a course or camp/annual training arranged by a
RN, Army or Civil Authority or for overseas adventurous training, an application in the form of
Annex A must be submitted for approval to HQ Air Cadets (Wg Cdr CCF) prior to the duty
taking place. The form, suitably endorsed, will be returned to the officer for attachment to
the HQ AC Accts form to which it refers.
32.
HQ AC Accts Form 80s relating to adventurous training reconnaissance and camps
in UK are to be endorsed with the reference and date of the Army Fmn HQ letter approving
the training.
33.
Claims will be paid by the Accts Finance Officer (ACFO) through BACS. Claims will
invariably be paid after the duty so officers should provide themselves with sufficient funds to
meet expenses (Mess bills, etc) at the time of duty.
Officers uniform upkeep allowance
34.
Uniform upkeep allowance is paid to officers automatically by HQ Air Cadets.
Married status
35.
RAFVR(T) officers are to notify HQ Air Cadets by letter when they get married or
change their marital status.
