SAAS / Re: anyone hear this one on the radio?

eppulaptes on green uniforms???
cadets do not where green uniforms and as for adult members and is a quick and easy way to see rank and skill level. as RN ambos and doctors each have diffrent markings...

As for the cadet may or maynot of been in an area of a stabbing...i myself was a cadet from the age of 11 i am now 21... i was always in the presence of an adult member...
in the case of the stabbing not cadet is allowed at an event where the risk maybe to high....any cadet under the age of 14 is not allowed on duty after 1800... as for a stabbing at the show...How often have we heard of any stabbings or any other incident of a high risk nature....some things are just unavoidable...HENCE THE SHOW IS A FAMILY EVENT....
 
Are we forgetting other services also use people of a youth in a support role under supervision... the royal life saving is also another service which uses them very heavly with a great outcome....

CFS cadets- yes arent exposed to that situation as it is a diffrent buisness altogether....as you do not use your people under 16 in an active role... but as for each service there is a parent permisson and im sure each service looks at each youth member indiuvally and accesses what they are and not capable of.....

as for st john cadets they are quite often 'off duty' and admistering first aid until further medical assitance arrives, which can be anything from a minor cut, to the old lady fallen over with a heart attack!!! Risks are apart of everyday life, all we can do is take precautions and minimise the effect that they may pose...


IAM also a cfs member, as for each organistion there are going to be negatives and positives to each organisation, I think we could all think of a few brigades or members where thinks could be improved...




if you can remember what organsation is there with cfs at large incidents providing first aid and eye washes....
