Frequently Asked QuestionsHow safe is my child?Your child’s safety is our top priority. Every activity is supervised by an NZCF Officer. All NZCF Officers must undergo aPolice Safety Check and complete a course where they are formally trained in risk management and cadet welfare. Formalrisk management and planning is carried out for all activities we run. No activity can be completely risk free. NZCF Officersare trained to recognise and minimise risk to a point where it does not impact negatively on your child's learning experiences.NZCF Officers are required to undergo additional training before they are allowed to supervise some activities. To takecadets tramping, the officer must have completed the NZCF Officer Bushcraft Course. Officers are required to qualify asRange Conducting Officers before they can supervise shooting. Cadets also need to pass a safety test and drills before theycan shoot.Regular Officer Update training weekends are conducted to ensure officers remain current with their skills and knowledge.For some activities (eg abseiling, rock climbing) we engage qualified instructors to teach and supervise the activity, thoughthere will still be an NZCF Officer in attendance.Do I have to stay if I don’t enjoy it?No, we are a voluntary organisation. If you decide cadets is not for you, or if you have to leave for other reasons, you canresign at any time.
