Welcome to this round-up of LOtC Quality Badge Awards! Every few month we’ll be announcing the names of the providers who have been awarded the LOtC Quality Badge for the first time, and those who have achieved a renewal of their existing badge.
Being awarded the LOtC Quality Badge means a provider has been thoroughly assessed, both in terms of their learning offer and risk management. This gives schools and educational settings peace of mind when organising educational visits, that the learning outside the classroom (LOtC) experience is both safe and supports their curriculum and learning objectives. The award is also endorsed by English and Welsh governments and the Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel.
Have you considered the LOtC Quality Badge for your own organisation? Find out more about the benefits of the scheme and apply, here. To find your nearest LOtC Quality Badge holder on our searchable map, click here.
