Posted By Zoe Barnett Can anyone please advise me as to the relationship between a CCF and a school (in this case a public school)? I am told that the CCF is run independently of the school although it seems to have been solely for students of that school and no other. I think that the relationship is similar to that between a school and a work experience provider and therefore the school should have been checking the safety arrangements for CCF activities before allowing its students to participate. Can anyone please confirm this for me?

Posted By Chris Pope Zoe, A few of my customers have this scenario, the buildings even belong to the MoD. I have recently seen very comprehensive risk assessments carried out by the "commandant" of the cadets which confirms to me that the school accepts the loco parentis role both on site and off site in accordance with the latest DfES guidance.
