…..Followed by a tour round the Lagganlia facilities including those which allow all youngsters to have access to the right clothing and kit. No-one gets left out.
Then off to the Sir Arthur Grant centre in Aberdeenshire to see the excellent facilities available including those for special needs youngsters. Thank you to Neil and other staff for a special afternoon.
What a welcome today at Lagganlia. Thanks to Nick March and all his team @AHOEC for showing me the outstanding work that has been done in co-operation with schools and local authorities to ensure residential outdoor education works for every young person.
Very pleased to visit Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre today to hear about the excellent work with @EDCouncil schools including brand new facilities for ASN pupils. Thank you to Phil, Ash and Anne for showing me round and telling me about the ambitious plans for the future.
Thank you to Nick March (@AHOECUK) as secretariat to the Outdoor Education CPG and all members joining in-person and online for their contributions on the The Scottish Residential Quality Improvement Framework and SAAF.
A privilege for me to be the guest speaker at @AHOECUK annual conference for outdoor education centres. Looking forward to hearing about the challenges facing the sector in Eng&Wales and also speaking about how Scotland is leading the way on new legislation.
This is utterly fantastic news, guaranteeing that every pupil in Scotland has access to a week of residential outdoor education.
Well done to Liz for your tireless work on this.
This gives us real hope in our campaign to provide all young people in England with this opportunity
Outdoor education can help build confidence, resilience, and love of learning and the outdoors.
Really glad to see such a positive response from the Education Secretary today about supporting our cross-party campaign to give every young person these lifechanging opportunities.
