Is Labour so scared of Reform it's reduced to aping Nigel? Will Sarwar's broken pledges on Grangemouth be remembered in 2026 Holyrood elections?
Audrey Nicoll MSP. Did she really choose to quit? And why we back Tory Liz Smith on outdoor education. Listen lesleyriddoch.com/podcast

This morning we took evidence from @mspliz on the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill.
The financing of centres to allow them to support children with additional support needs was a subject we explored.

It was a pleasure to host @SP_ECYP yesterday at our Broomlee Centre. This is an important opportunity for all of Scotland’s young people
As part of our consideration of the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill we visited @SBroomlee.
Find out more about our visit in this video ⬇
At 9.30am tomorrow we'll hear from @mspliz, who introduced the Bill. Follow along online: ow.ly/Su9U50UswNU

We’ve had a really useful day at @SBroomlee with representatives of @soec_orguk and @AHOECUK. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and views with us.

Without this campaign more of Scotland’s residential outdoor centres would be closed and many young people would be missing out on life changing experiences. Please take the time to vote.
We are really excited to let you know that we have been shortlisted for Campaign of the Year. We'd love it if you could help us win a Scottish Charity Award. All you have to do is vote! scvo.scot/scottish-charity-a… #ScotCharityAwards
Delighted that young people from @SOEC_orguk Dounans Centre are on the front cover of @ScotsMagEd @ScotsMagazine highlighting the important benefits of Outdoor Education on Young People’s Mental Health

Some of the headwaters of the rivers Spey, Tay and Dee can all be traced to just one hill: Carn an Fhidhleir (Carn Ealar) in the Cairngorms. (Niche tweet for geeks.)
Fantastic boost to Outdoor Education in Scotland. Many thanks @scotgov for supporting the sector and Scotland’s Young People
We’re delighted to announce the launch of The Outdoor Education Recovery Fund! The £500,000 @scotgov fund will support the delivery of outdoor learning via education partnerships. Find out more and apply: bit.ly/3dxjdpO

This means that we now have pledges from @ScotTories @theSNP @scotlibdems @ScottishLabour @scottishgreens to guarantee residential experiences at outdoor education centres for young people. We couldn't have done this without all our followers and supporters. Thank you
We are delighted that @ScotTories have made this pledge in their manifesto: "we will ensure that all children have the opportunity to participate in at least one week of residential outdoor education in their
school career."
Great to see local support for Outdoor Education

Scotland have produced guidance for school trips resuming in the summer term:
gov.scot/publications/corona…
There are very restrictive rules here - At levels 0,1&2 children can go on holiday with multiple other families and stay in a room together - but not on a school trip?

A week to go Onslaught or Opportunity Online Hustings. Under the watchful eye of BBC Special Correspondent @naughtiej, @ScotTories @scotlibdems @scottishgreens @ScottishLabour @theSNP will answer questions on the SORA Manifesto. fb.me/e/B16ASoqN #scottishelection
Exactly this @MDavidson_OBT . A whole sector waits, impotently. This is a disservice to Scotland’s Young People and contrary to @scotgov’s espoused values. @JohnSwinney updated guidance is required NOW.

Good BBC contribution to the extraordinary @DofE legacy of Prince Philip and his inspiration from RF Mackenzie and Kurt Hahn at Gordonstoun School, Moray.
