Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill
Early day motion 2215, tabled 4 November 2025 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 28 members.
That this House welcomes the passage of the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament; notes the strong evidence that outdoor learning and youth work enhance young people’s engagement with education, foster teamwork, resilience and confidence, and encourage pro-environmental attitudes from an early age; regrets that no comparable commitment has been made for schools in England; and urges the UK Government to follow Scotland’s lead to ensure that every child has access to these life-enhancing opportunities.
