  Mon 27 Apr 2020

  The DofE are determined that young people shouldn’t miss out on doing their DofE because of the coronavirus outbreak – and they want to do everything they can to support participants to keep doing their award, at what they know is a really challenging time.

   

  To help to support participants, both now and when the lockdown ends, the DofE are introducing some temporary changes.  Check out the changes on the DofE website and keep working towards your award whilst at home.
