The Committee is asked to consider whether to appoint a representative to the Advisory Group for Anglia Ruskin University’s ‘Nature for Everyone’ project. This project aims to build capacity for outdoor learning in special schools, embedding outdoor learning into education for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and supporting parents in engaging with outdoor learning with their children. It is intended that the project will aid national efforts to reconnect people with nature and enhance children’s social and emotional development and mental health and well-being.
The Advisory Group is due to start work in March 2023, but the project team would welcome input now on the scope of the project as a funding bid is prepared.
