Although we are currently in lockdown due to the corona virus this doesn’t mean that our DofE journey has to be put on hold!
The DofE award scheme has made some amendments to allow students to continue with their activities at home during CV19.
Any changes to a students programme need to be discussed and agreed upon with their crew leader but there is no reason they can’t change to activities that can be done at home during this difficult time.
I have students that have changed from playing football for their local team to now running for an hour a week using a phone app to record their evidence. Other students are helping to shop for neighbours to continue with their voluntary activity or listening to their younger siblings read.
There is further advice about this on the official website DofE.org
Obviously the expedition and residential aspects of the DofE Programe have been put on hold until further notice from the government. I will let you know of any changes to this situation as soon as possible.
Best wishes to you all and get creative at home but remember to evidence anything you are doing. I would love you to send photos of the things you’re doing. Email them to your crew leader or to me: [email protected]
Please speak with your crew leader if you have any concerns or questions or would like further support.
