COSLA, the National Association of Scottish Councils, is the latest major new signatory to sign Scotland’s Outdoor Play and Learning Coalition Position Statement, which is a commitment to making play and learning outdoors an everyday activity for all children in Scotland.
The Statement marks its second anniversary at a time when understanding and focus on the connection between the outdoors and children’s mental health has never been more needed.
