SCOTTISH ADVISORY PANEL FOR OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Scotland's local authority network for outdoor learning
|
Our Aims
The aims of the Panel are to act as a representative voice on matters relating to outdoor education, and to safety in outdoor activities. This is achieved by:
Ø Identifying and promoting good practice in outdoor education
Ø Monitoring change and trying to ensure that developments in this sphere proceed along sound educational lines
Ø Offering informed and authoritative advice on education in the outdoors and on the safe management of outdoor activities, at both local and national level.
Membership of the panel comprises nominated representatives from Local Authorities, Universities, and Colleges or other institutions deemed by the Panel to have a significant responsibility within Scotland for the management or delivery of outdoor education .
Former members who have a significant amount of experience and knowledge are invited to be Associate Members of the Panel.
The Panel currently meets 5 times per year at venues around Scotland, and its special interest groups within the Panel meet at other times during the year. It has representatives on a number of national and UK organisations.
The Panel responds to national consultation documents and lobbies for the cause of outdoor learning, especially in a local authority context.
