A neighbour of mine is registering with OFSTED. They have sent her a form to fill in so that SSAFFA (forces welfare) can do checks on her and her DH
because she lives on an RAF base in the UK
and because she has lived in a married quarter in scotland
Now, correct me if I am wrong here, but surely that's why CRB/Disclosures are done?
When she queried it, OFSTED just kept saying "well you have to fill on in it's a requirement if you don't we won't register you"
When her DH pushed further (because it asks for his service number, length of service etc) he was told
"Well firstly you lived in Scotland and the military in Scotland is very very different to the Military in England
, and it's very difficult to regulate and check on people who live in married quarters. If you lived in wales you'd ahve to do tehm too because the military in wales is different againAlso you currently live on a camp and again you can't have proper checks done because of the military"
I didn't have to fill one in. Wondered if it was a new thing?
I am going to post this over on forces sweethearts too, it's give them a laugh
