Edofe

The Duke of Edinburgh Award uses an online system called Edofe to record and track their progress through the award and to upload evidence.

Edofe can be access via a web browser (https://edofe.org/), or via the DofE app (www.dofe.org/app/).

When using Edofe, there are four main stages of progress, they are;

• Not Started

This stage shows that the section has not been started and that the participant has not workout what they are going to do for the section.

• Draft

This stage shows that the participant has an idea for their section but not started. They could be awaiting all required information prior to sending it to their leader.

• Programme planner approved

This stage shows that the participant has started their section and it has been approved by their leader.

• Section Submitted

This stage shows that the section has been submitted by the participant with an activity log and any other evidence, along with their assessors submitting a assessors report, their leader has signed off the section.

For further information or videos on Edofe and how to use it, then please either look at the useful information, or on the DofE website, or the DofE YouTube channel.

Each section must have an Assessor with either a telephone number or email address recorded prior to the programme being approved, must have a suitable goal that has been agreed with your Assessor (Think SMART goals).

Assessors

Assessors are their to mentor a participant in their chosen activity, to confirm that a participant has been doing that activity, how they have progressed in it and how they have met their goal.

A section can not be started without an Assessor, who has agreed to be the assessor for the participant and agreed the goal with them.

Assessor must be over 18 and not related to the participant.

Our leaders can be used as assessors with agreement with them, they will require additional information prior to, during and at the end of the section. Please speak with us.

If you can not find an assessor for a section then please speak with us or visit Choosing Assessors. Further to this, if an assessor has any questions then please direct them to use.

At the end of the section, the assessor will need to complete a assessor report - please see below under evidence.

Evidence

Each completed section requires a minimum of two pieces of evidence, these are;

• Activity log

While doing your activity, you will need to keep an ongoing recorded called an activity log, this can be recorded a number of ways,
