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.

Excellent news for Scotland's young people as the Outdoor Education Bill receives Royal Assent from His Majesty the King.

A huge thank you to ⁦@AHOECUK⁩. Terrific conference and some very happy people in the outdoor education sector.

It might be torrential rain in the Lakes but l was delighted to be shown round the Brathay outdoor centre before the Conference starts this afternoon.

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.

And let's not forget what 38 elite athletes said about school swimming 👇

Thank you @_KateForbes. I agree!

Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve with “boulder boy”

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

Delighted Holyrood has passed the Outdoor Education Bill.

This is why the Outdoor Education Bill is so important 👇

I hope the Outdoor Education Bill will pass today.

In a loud building you tend to notice the silence even more.

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.

What a day
