HOW DO I CHOOSE MY ACTIVITIES?
There’s loads to choose from — most activities can count towards your DofE.
Maybe you want to try something new? Or get better at something you’re already doing? Your DofE can be whatever you want it to be.
Activities for each DofE section take a minimum of one hour a week over a set period of time, so they can fit in around your studies and life outside school.
You need to discuss your goals at the beginning with your assessor, keep a log of what you have done and upload evidence into eDofE.
If you have any questions about any aspect of DofE including whether an activity fits a particular category please look at the suggestions below first and then ask at Explorers or e-mail us via [email protected]

your assessors reports
|
When the participant has completed the minimum time requirements and met the outcomes of the relevant section, the DofE requires a written report which is a record of their progress. This is called an Assessor’s Report.
As an Assessor you are responsible for writing a participant’s Assessor Report. The Report makes up is the piece of evidence which is used to sign off a participant’s section. The Assessor can not be related to the participant. The feedback within the Assessor’s Report must be personal to the individual and usually made up of several short paragraphs. It is not acceptable to simply say “He/she satisfactorily completed the Volunteering section”. The report should include how long they volunteered for on each session and the number of months that they volunteered for overall. There are two ways to submit Assessor’s Reports. You can complete the sectional Assessor’s Report Card, found in a participant’s Welcome Pack. Alternatively you can add your report directly into the participant’s online eDofE account via DofE.org/assessor. All you need is: ■ The participant’s eDofE ID number. ■ Their Award level (Bronze, Silver or Gold). ■ The section you are assessing them for (for example the Skills section). DofE ask for your email address and phone number to enable the participant's DofE Leader to contact you should they wish to discuss your assessment with you. To the right is an example of Assessor’s Report screen on DofE.org/assessor, once initial information has been entered and checked. |
