Purpose of the consultation

On 31 January 2023, Sam Rowlands MS launched a consultation on his proposal for an Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill, inviting people to give their views on the policy objectives of the proposed law. The consultation is scheduled to close on 17 March 2023.

The proposed Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill seeks to establish a statutory duty on local authorities to ensure that all young people receiving maintained education are provided with the opportunity to experience residential outdoor education, for at least one week, at some stage during their school years.

The Bill will also establish a statutory obligation for providers of maintained education to be allocated funding to enable them to do this.

This consultation now seeks views on the proposed Bill and on the policy objectives it seeks to achieve.
