Volunteers Record Book (old brand)
This
Record Book has a dual role, first it is a permanent reminder and record of the volunteering activities/positions you have done/held and second, it allows you to log any training relevant to your volunteering within the DofE that you have undertaken. This
Record Book has national currency. This is especially relevant when you move from one DofE Group to another or from one area of the UK to another. You will be able to show your new Operating Authority/DofE Group all of your relevant training and experience, in one handy
Record Book.

Certificate templates
PDFs with exact positioning of name and date field for you to type in and print onto certificates obtained from
www.DofE.org/shop (Obviously, it appears on your screen as a blank sheet, until you click in the area where the name/date go and type the details in. Be sure to have your pdf printing settings set to A4 with no 'shrink to fit' overrides.)
NATIONAL VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION RESOURCES
Leaflets for National Operating Authorities
The DofE is working in partnership with ipadio, the company that gives every telephone user a voice to the internet. iPadio offers participants the opportunity to keep a voice record of their team’s activity, otherwise known as phlogging.
Phlogging, or ‘blogging by phone’, will allow them to record live audio directly onto the web from a telephone, giving them the freedom to broadcast on the road, in a canoe, or even on a horse!
This will allow them to get their friends, parents and other relatives really involved in their DofE experience. Each time they phone the service, they will be able to record a new episode. Telling people about this and providing them with the link, will allow them to listen online to what they have recorded as soon as they have recorded it.
Calls to ipadio are either freephone or a local rate number depending on their location. (In the UK calls are local rate, so will be included in their call package).
