Before we all jump up in the air about the residential experience
requirements, very little has been said about the nature of the experience.
The focus reading between the lines is on the residential element and not
the activity base (however interlinked we may think they are). So schools
playing to their strengths might fulfil the requirements in a number of ways
that require only a residential base not interventions from the Outdoor
Industry.
Yes you are right without careful monitoring schools will play to the
demands of the £££££ and market pressures will make Micky Mouse
organisations very attractive, particularly if niavity also plays a part.
So encouraging news but lets not all go out and buy a new pair of boots
ready for the onset of incoming participation.
Pete.
