Delivery Toolkit
We’ve pulled together lots of useful resources to help you plan and deliver the DofE over the next academic year. These resources provide practical support and suggestions for you and your participants.
These resources can be used to plan your DofE delivery, and may be especially useful if you’re managing multiple cohorts of young people this year.
- DofE Delivery Framework is a detailed best practice guide for everyone delivering DofE.
- Staff/volunteers recruitment presentation for support with expanding your DofE team
- Support for young people with additional needs
Once you’ve recruited your new cohort, these resources will encourage participants to accurately record their activities.
- Bitesize Programme planners for every level
- Activity logs for the Volunteering, Physical and Skills sections (editable online)
- Digital Welcome Packs for additional copies of the resources sent to young people
- Read our blog on how you can do your DofE activities on a budget.
- DofE Leaders’ Handbook for information needed to be a DofE Leader and run programmes with your group.
Please find our eDofE Launch PowerPoints below to support the initial session once young people are enrolled onto the DofE programme. The session aims to get young people started on a high quality DofE programme and gets them logged onto eDofE to give them best chances of success for achievement with DofE. The session is aimed for leaders to deliver to participants and has supporting notes.
Use our online resources for any eDofE queries, from amending section start dates to approving activity change requests.
Don’t forget that you can also use the eDofE Support chat function for any specific queries.
The Opportunity Finder can help you find activities for all sections of the Award.

The DofE Leaders’ Handbook gives you the information needed to be a DofE Leader and run programmes with your group. In the Handbook you will discover how the DofE works, what your responsibilities are as a Leader and how we can best support you.
We’ve also developed a Recruitment Toolkit, drawing together lots of resources to help you let potential participants, parents and carers know all about the DofE and encourage them to get involved.
