UK Outdoors is
the sector voice for the Outdoor Learning and the Adventure World.
UK Outdoors is lobbying to change
the governments Covid 19 guidance which is preventing overnight stays
in Outdoor Education Residential Centres. This guidance is preventing
formative educational experiences to at least 5 million students
across the UK. The sector provides over 15,000 jobs and £700m to the
UK economy.
Objective: The Government have committed to review the guidance
advising against residential outdoor education in November. Whilst we
participate in the Review, we are aiming to build political support to
ensure that guidance and our sector is reopened in time for the 2021
season.
