Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill

Tabled by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) 28 signatures

The motion

That this House welcomes the passage of the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament; notes the strong evidence that outdoor learning and youth work enhance young people’s engagement with education, foster teamwork, resilience and confidence, and encourage pro-environmental attitudes from an early age; regrets that no comparable commitment has been made for schools in England; and urges the UK Government to follow Scotland’s lead to ensure that every child has access to these life-enhancing opportunities.
