PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Outdoor education experiences for children (12 June 2023)

That this House calls for every child to be given the opportunity to benefit from outdoor education during their time at school; further calls for each child to have the chance of at least one residential outdoor education visit during primary school years and at least one during secondary school years; recognises the benefits to mental and physical health that these experiences give; highlights the contribution they make to the development of characteristics like teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence for each child who experiences them; and acknowledges the exceptional work of outdoor education centres in the UK, and especially the many centres in Cumbria whose staff work so hard to give young people these formative experiences.
