Introduction by the Chairman


In preparation for our evidence session with the AFPRB on 12 October 2011, we submit for your consideration evidence arising from the RAF Families Federation’s workshops and associated activity this year.


Building on the evidence we provided to the AFPRB in previous years, and based on the increasingly robust evidence contained in our Issues database and arising from our dedicated workshops and surveys, we believe that RAF personnel and their families continue to feel undervalued.


The ability of the AFPRB to influence future pay awards is highly valued by the families we represent and we note and welcome the Government’s commitment to continue to seek recommendations from an independent Pay Review Body as part of the Armed Forces Covenant.


We welcome the opportunity to represent the interests of RAF personnel and their families and hope that our evidence, alongside that provided by the chain of command, will strengthen the case for a decent and fair remuneration package for all who serve in the RAF.
