Air Command Secretariat Spitfire Block Headquarters Air Command Royal Air Force High Wycombe Buckinghamshire HP14 4UE Ref: 11-02-2013-111718-013 Ms Phoebe Spence By e-mail: [email protected] 1 March 2013 Dear Ms Spence, Thank you for your email of 10 February which has been considered to be a request for information under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000; I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MOD). You requested the following information: Please list the schools, academies and colleges located in the following Local Authorities that have been visited by the Royal Air Force since September 2010: Cheshire East, Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan. How many visits to each school? What was the nature of the visit – both the activity and the age groups involved? Also information as to whether there is a cadet force, or similar military/air cadet training offered at the school. I can confirm that the MOD holds the information you have requested. The table below sets out the number of visits to schools, academies and colleges in the specific local authorities, the nature of these visits and the age groups involved. The table also indicates those schools and academies which have Combined Cadet Force (RAF) Sections. The RAF, and the Armed Forces as a whole, never visit schools for recruitment purposes and would only ever visit a school after being invited by a teacher to support school activities. Similar contributions to schools are made by the Police, Fire, Ambulance and other emergency Services. The Armed Forces get numerous requests from schools each year and the three Services take these opportunities to explain to children their role to protect the nation and pass on valuable skills such as leadership, teamwork and citizenship. If you are not satisfied with this response or wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Deputy Chief Information Officer, 2nd Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end. If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the Commissioner's website, http://www.ico.gov.uk.
