FEDERATION NEWS
Families Federations to influence the policy agenda right across Government and into the Devolved Administrations.
The SDSR created a whole new set of challenges for the RAF and its families to contend with, and the deteriorating economic climate throughout the last five years added greater urgency to the evidence provided to the Armed Forces Pay Review Body on pay, allowances and pensions. Moreover, the enduring high operational tempo, covering Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya alongside standing
commitments overseas increased the pressure on separated families and caused many to question their long-term future in the Service.
Finally, in a long list of factors impacting on the RAF and its families, the DIO Transformation programme began to really take effect this year and the Federation has been at the forefront, representing the interests of RAF families and ensuring that evidence-based feedback was provided to those responsible for delivering accommodation services.
There is a very long list of achievements accomplished since the RAF Families Federation’s humble beginnings in 2007 and we believe it has more than lived up to Dawn’s original intent.
As we wish Dawn every success in her new appointment (do the Air Cadets know what they’ve let themselves in for!), those who remain within the Federation team continue our efforts on your behalf and strive to provide you with the independent voice and confidential service you deserve.
