We are representatives from all Scotland's local authorities who network to discuss and advise on issues concerning outdoor learning. We have representatives on a number of national bodies, and have been active in advising on national initiatives such as New Opportunities for PE and Sport, and the Outdoor Connections programme.

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:

  • identifying and promoting good practice in outdoor education
  • monitoring change and trying to ensure that developments in this sphere proceed along sound educational lines
  • offering informed and authoritative advice on education in the outdoors and on the safe management of outdoor activities, at both local and national level.
 

Going Out There

'Going Out There' is the Scottish framework for Safe Practice in Off-site Visits. It has been developed in partnership by the Scottish Government, the Scottish Advisory Panel for Outdoor Education, the Health and Safety Executive, Education Scotland and the Association of Directors of Education, with input from other partners, voluntary organisations and providers.
