• Natural Resource Body for Wales - Consultation. Here is a LINK to the story we have done following Wednesdays very positive meeting with the minister. The new organisations Chief exec has been named as Dr. Emyr Roberts.
• Welsh Ministers have decided that they wish to retain adventure activities licensing in respect of Wales. The Welsh Government have decided that they do not wish to follow Westminster’s proposal to withdraw AALA.  The Welsh Government observed the HSE working group’s debates over the past few months and in the attached letter outline their reasoning for retaining AALA.  Currently it is not clear what the full implications of this decision will be (e.g. will English providers working with English young people in Wales need a license ?) but as the position is clarified further guidance will follow.

Paul Donovan. I have recently been appointed as Professional Development Coordinator (PDC) for the Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) for Wales. The role, amongst many aspects, involves increasing the awareness of and participation in IOL programmes both for new and existing members.
I am keen to:

• Develop a forum with existing members (individual & group) and those who are Internal Facilitators (IF’s), Registered Practitioners (RPIOL), Accredited Practitioners (APIOL), Leading Practitioners (LPIOL) and APIOL Mentors/Assessors;
• Establish induction programmes for new AP’s;
• Provide training programmes for new IF’s & AP Mentors

Provide support for Professional Development on behalf of IOL for the Welsh membership.
