The Secretary of State for Defence has not conducted a formal assessment of the Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations (RFCA) Review funding.<\/p>

The RFCA Reform Programme was set up following the 2019 review of the RFCAs and was paused in March 2023 due to failing to obtain a legislative slot in the third and fourth sessions of Parliament. This decision was endorsed by the Chief of Defence People and Permanent Under-Secretary.<\/p>

Ministry of Defence (MOD) and RFCA teams have worked together to instil new executive roles (Human Resources, Commercial and Finance Directors) which have been established within the Council of RFCAs. A significant amount of resource has been invested to develop a more formal governance process and to ensure MOD is a more intelligent customer of the RFCAs. This work currently remains at an interim operating level, in that the formal governance processes we wish to see are not all yet at full operating level.<\/p>

The RFCAs continue to provide a vital role in supporting Defence activity. This is done primarily through their three core tasks: managing the volunteer estate and providing infrastructure support (facilities management); employer engagement, and support to the Services' Cadets and youth. The RFCAs are also engaged in community engagement, which is carried out through their extensive network of volunteer members based within the community.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1466", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Wiltshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Andrew Murrison"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-06-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-06-14T12:27:10.697Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations Review"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations Review Implementation Grant.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4410", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julian Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Solihull"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Julian Knight"} ], "uin" : "188317"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1173179", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1173179/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

An internal review of the Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations was undertaken between August and December 2014. The review was initiated in order to consider what Defence requires of the Associations and to propose any change to outputs, processes, structure or staffing that would better meet Defence needs. The recommendations resulting from the review are currently being considered as part of wider business as usual in the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>
