Please help me out, my grammar is awful, and the other office occupants cannot agree.
Is the statement below missing any hyphens?
[i]- Learn about innovative and proven teacher led, place responsive and curricular linked outdoor learning in secondary schools.[/i]
[i]missing any hyphens[/i]?
No!
Good call running this up the flagpole, I'll get the envisioning team to come back to you with a customer focussed solution.
Doesn't need that one at the start.
I think it should be teacher-led - not sure about "place responsive" or "curricular linked" but think they should be hyphenated too.*

** Where the L stands for Linguist.
It was a bullet point at the start, not a hyphen.

😉
I would hyphenate that lot.
Learn about innovative and proven teacher-led, place-responsive and curricular-linked outdoor learning in secondary schools.
No idea if that is "correct" grammar but it scans much better IMO.
Though to be honest it sounds like a bunch of buzzwords so really I'd just rewrite it.
No hyphens required.
Thanks for prompting me to google what "Place responsive" means.
❓ curricul[b][u]um[/u][/b] linked
with or without hyphen
FWIW, IMO there are 3 "hyphenable" terms there but it'd look awful if you did all 3
Marketing say - hyphen-it-up-the-wazoo
Strategy team say - what's the current group think amongst your stakeholders
My grammar is crap too so can't add advice but that does read bloody awful and clumsy.

It needs something but maybe not hyphens! For example is it led by proven teachers or is it proven and also led by teachers?
Agree with Graham. But should it be 'curriculum-linked' , or just 'curricular' no? I'd go for the latter given the number of already-hyphenated words in the line.

Saves wasting hyphens. 😀
hyphens are all a matter of opinion. If you believe that a word combination isnt really in common usage hyphenate it. If it is, you dont need the hyphen.

The core IS teacher led, in school, not using external providers...
...If you believe that a word combination isnt really in common usage
... you are German and doin' it 'rong 🙂
^scotroutes has it....
Thank you.
Yeah I'd get Stoner or scotroutes to write it if I were you 😀
I'm not sure that adding hyphens in is going to help that sentence make sense 🙂
I'd go as per GrahamS as above - does highlight how many terms are hyphenated, looks a bit clumsy TBH..
What does 'place responsive' mean?
It really can't be curricular linked, BTW. Curricular is an adjective.

I'd use hyphens to avoid ambiguity. Compound adjectives/modifiers usually take a hyphen when used before the noun, but you aren't obliged to use them unless the term becomes ambiguous without.
If you don't use a hyphen "linked outdoor learning" could be a compound noun with "curricular" as the adjective.
