The AHOEC is an association of leaders in outdoor learning – most of these leaders hold senior positions in outdoor education provision across the UK.  Members come from statutory, private and charity sectors as well as the wider educational community.

Breaking down the barriers. Our members are here to help group leaders prepare and plan outdoor education based visits by providing a measured and appropriate approach to the management of risk, an approach supported by RoSPA and the HSE.

As a branch of the National Association of Head Teachers, AHOEC seeks to influence outdoor education policy-making by working together with other sector organisations and provides professional advice for members.
