Abstract

The need for, and requirements of, staff development opportunities in fieldwork leadership for higher education (HE)staff have been explored by consultation with representatives of subject organizations and the Outdoor community. This article summarises the outcomes of that consultation (a full report is available on request). Currently available opportunities for relevant training are identified, and a ‘framework’ for considering staff development is proposed. This includes a list of the competencies that it is suggested field leaders should endeavour to develop. This list is intended to be a facilitative tool, for example in assisting self-assessment of development needs. Finally, a number of avenues for further work are recommended in order to provide increased support for higher education staff involved in leading fieldwork.
