Consultancy

With decades of experience, the team combines strategic thinking and operational development to find innovative ways to increase the number of opportunities for all children and young people to access outdoor play and learning, every day.

Every consultancy project is unique, and we work with you to understand your needs and tailor our support to match. We have experience in supporting everyone from small scale early years and play organisations, to national third sector bodies and local authorities. Here are some examples of current consultancy work:

Professional Development Programme
in Outdoor Thinking

If you are looking to develop your outdoor thinking then this is a great place to start. Our team will cover everything from knowing your ‘why’, to the benefits of outdoor play and exploring risk, auditing and current outdoor provision, and creating an action plan. Your team will feel confident and excited to embed outdoor play and learning right away! We can deliver these sessions in a variety of ways from full day inservice to a series of shorter two-hour blocks over a number of weeks. We are happy to discuss how we can build our work into yours!

Our support is tailored to the needs of our partners, so contact us at Thrive@inspiringscotland.org.uk to discuss how we can help.

“This has been an excellent programme for both children and adults alike. The children are more focussed after an Active Play session and are playing better with each other in the class and in the playground. Staff don’t need to intervene as much to sort our squabbles, as the children have learned to compromise, problem solve and negotiate. My staff have also learned so much and are confident about taking Active Play forward in our school”

“There is such a buzz about outdoor learning around the county now, which we didn’t have before, and that is down to Thrive Outdoors” 

M Black, Early Years Manager, Scottish Borders Council
