Should kids be given the right to an outdoor education?
The Scottish Tories want more outdoor lessons for pupils, plus How do we deal with young offenders? Gary Robertson takes your calls.
The Scottish Conservatives want all young people to be given the opportunity to experience a full week of residential outdoor education at least once between the ages of 11 and 15. Is taking part in activities like climbing and sailing a good idea, or a distraction from learning to read and write?
Plus: Should we reform the way we deal with young offenders?
A teenager has been made the subject of one of the country's first lifelong restriction orders. 18-year-old Darren Cornelius, a prisoner in Edinburgh, admitted leaving a stranger scarred for life after carrying out a random knife attack upon him. Already charged with 65 offences, his latest sentence means he'll remain behind bars until a panel of experts say he is safe for release.
Gary Robertson takes your calls, texts and emails.
