Going Out There -
Scottish Framework for Safe Practice in Off-site Visits
This framework has been developed in partnership by the Scottish Government, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Scottish Advisory Panel for Outdoor Education (SAPOE), Education Scotland, and the Association of Directors of Education, with input from other partners including voluntary organisations and providers.

The Scottish Government have given SAPOE the responsibility for maintaining and implementing the ‘Going Out There’ guidance.
