DofE Silver

[141mum]

Hi can anyone help
My dd has completed all sections but how long do you get to submit all your signed of reports
School now saying, tough your too late, although she only finished in May.

Centres will have their own deadlines.

If she missed the deadline then the school may say she has to wait until they sign off the next cohort. Part of D of E is time management. If she finished in May then a reasonable deadline would be September to have everything signed off. We have our students upload as they go.

I'm not aware of any absolute d of e cut offs, though there may be some.

Than you. DD has had huge health issues, brain tumour diagnosed, bullying and attacked in school, now on long term sick. So I think allowances should be made.
Think I will try the dofe direct if school won’t budge

I'd agree with MaisyPops. DofE themselves don't have a time limit (as long as you don't become too old, but clearly not the case here). I suspect it is something to do with the way it has been organised through the school. Is she not registered with eDofE though, in which case uploads everything herself to just be signed off ?
If doing through the school then I'd have thought, with all the issues you've mentioned, they would be aware of the barriers she's faced though ?
That said, DofE is something the staff do voluntarily over and above their actual workload. Might it be that the teacher who was running it has now either left or chosen to step down from the role, or a similar situation ?

Thank you for advice x
