Once they’ve chosen to start their DofE, your child will be sent their login details for eDofE (our online record system) and a Welcome Pack which contains five elements:
- Participant's Handbook
- Assessor Guidance booklet
- Merchandise leaflet
- Welcome letter
- Their DofE Reward Card.
The Assessor Guidance Cards for each section are for them to give to their Assessor to provide them with information on what’s required of them in their role.
The DofE Reward Card gives them 15% off purchases from Cotswold Outdoor, the outdoor equipment retailer, in stores or online.
Using eDofE, participants have to prove what they’ve done for each of their sectional activities. They can upload their pictures on to eDofE and scan and upload pages of their signed Assessor Cards as well as pictures of them doing their activities, signed notes from their Assessor, movies... anything they can think of to prove their hard work!
When they complete their programme, they will have the opportunity to create their Achievement Pack containing photographs and words from what they upload, for them to treasure, so the more high quality items they upload, the better!
Their Leader will then sign off each section in eDofE as and when they have proved their commitment to their activities for the necessary time period. The Licensed Organisation will approve their final Award.
