Residential section of my DofE programme.

I hope that you will enjoy your involvement, helping me through the section

and to get the most from my activities and complete this section.

For this section of my Gold DofE programme I have to undertake a shared

activity or specific course, with people I don’t know in a residential setting away from

home, and in an unfamiliar environment for five days and four nights.

Can you please:

• Understand what I want to get out of it and help me set my goals.

• Help me with advice, training and supervision as needed.

• Support and encourage me while I’m on the residential.

• Be available throughout my residential and monitor my progress.

• Do a final assessment at the end – discussing my experiences, how I

developed and reached my goals.

When I have completed the time requirements and achieved my goals,

please can you register your comments on my progress by the

suggested methods overleaf.

This will be my evidence of completing my Residential section.

Aim: To inspire participants through a concentrated involvement with people

they don’t know, who are usually from different backgrounds, and bring

alternative views to the challenges they will face. The Residential section

broadens their experiences by empowering them to make a difference in

a team-based residential setting.

The Residential section

Completion of the section

Participants undertake a shared activity or specific course with people they

don’t know in a residential setting away from home and in an unfamiliar

environment. Evenings are often as much a part of the experience as the

daytime activities.

Your Assessor’s report

Please take the time to think about what evidence you provide. You can

talk about training, progress, team contribution (if applicable), personal

development and achievement of their goals.

What you write will celebrate the achievement of the young person and will

form part of their permanent record of their DofE programme. So please

make your comments personal, positive and engaging. Remember to

include the activity start and end dates.
