The learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge is a national accreditation scheme for all organisations providing out of school learning. It combines the essential elements of provision – learning and safety – in a badge that aims to become a recognised and trusted mark of quality that teachers will look for when planning a visit.

This half day event will provide a great opportunity for participants to gain new perspectives on the LOTC strategic vision and quality badge scheme – whether you are thinking about going for the badge, have questions about evidencing the quality indicators or want to know what the next steps are for organisations involved, the day will provide an up-to-date outlook on what it means for us as a heritage sector.

PLEASE BOOK EARLY AS PLACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED


Cost: £10. Priority will be given to members of GEM and the Fed.
