Thank you, Mark. As I’ve said to previous Members, the Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel guidance is a web-based resource that is kept up-to-date constantly with changes in legislation and good practice by a working group of experts in the field. That website also has links to other relevant advice, whether that be from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or from the Health and Safety Executive. Now, as I’ve said earlier, there is much to be gained from allowing students, young people and children to participate in visits, trips, outdoor activities, and, if schools follow the advice that is available to them, they will be doing so knowing it is most up-to-date and is best practice.
