Funding for School Staff Instructors (SSI) was introduced to help support the sustainability of cadet units in schools, assist with the growth of cadet numbers, and support the Government\u2019s ambition of having 60,000 cadets in school cadet units.<\/p>
The Department has not made a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of this element of the Government\u2019s support for Combined Cadet Forces. In April 2022, the Ministry of Defence \u2018Sponsored Cadet Forces\u2019 statistics showed that there was an increase of 23% in adult volunteers and a 10% increase in the number of Cadets on Combined Cadet Forces in the year in which SSI funding was introduced.
