The Institute for Outdoor Learning (IOL) is the professional body for organisations and individuals who use the outdoors to make a positive difference for others.
IOL have published High Quality Learning 2025, which is available both digitally and in hard copy.
They say “The field of outdoor learning is broad and incredibly rich. A wide variety of approaches, delivered by volunteers, professional practitioners and providers, engage participants of all ages and backgrounds in experiences that have the power to be life changing.
With significant societal challenges including climate change, equality & diversity in the outdoors, mental health and wellbeing, this guide sets out what good practice looks like, supporting practitioners and providers to deliver the best possible outcomes to their participants.”
