Ask them to support this private member's Bill going through the Scottish Parliament.
Proposed Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill
If successful this would make residential Outdoor Education a statutory requirement of Local Authorities. It's also important to realise that as the bill proceeds there will most likely be some amendments for example including Primary 6 & 7s
Do you remember the Demo March on 11th February 2023
