The Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge is a new initiative from the Department for Children, Schools and Families. Its national advisory and manifesto partners recognise those organisations that deliver high-quality educational experiences while managing risk effectively. This enables teachers to easily identify and plan out-of-school learning opportunities for students.
With the launch of this new initiative and the hard work of many local organisations, more creative teaching techniques should become integral to young people's learning.

The Able project offers informal learning away from the peer-pressured environment associated with the classroom.
