Cadets Social Impact Survey 2018: The MoD has asked the University of Northampton to help them evaluate the impact of their spending on cadets. In order to achieve this the university is running an online survey, to be completed every 6 months over the next 3 years, to gauge what impact and benefits being a member of Cadets has on the individuals involved. Can cadets please complete this survey. The survey closes on 3 March 2018 and any data collected will be anonymous. The survey can be accessed via: https://northampton.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/cadets-social-impact-survey-2018_t3, or the short link: http://bit.ly/T3CSIS.
