Inclusive SEND DofE Expeditions
At Azarias Training, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to experience the challenge, achievement and independence that the Duke of Edinburgh's Award offers.
We specialise in delivering high-quality expeditions for SEND schools, alternative provisions and specialist settings, enabling students with a wide range of additional needs to successfully complete their DofE Award.
Our experienced team works alongside schools to create expeditions that are safe, supportive and genuinely enjoyable, while maintaining the challenge and integrity of the Award.
Expeditions tailored to your students...
No two schools or groups are the same. That's why every expedition is designed around the needs of your students.
We work with young people with:
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- ADHD
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
- Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties
- Communication and Interaction needs
- Anxiety and school avoidance
Rather than expecting students to fit a standard expedition model, we adapt our approach to help every participant succeed.
Location & Prices:
When preparing a quotation, we consider far more than just the expedition itself. This may include planning meetings with school staff, visits to meet students, parent information sessions, additional training, familiarisation visits to expedition locations, award presentations and ongoing support as students progress through Bronze, Silver and Gold awards.
We work closely with each school to design a programme that provides the right level of preparation and support, ensuring every young person has the opportunity to enjoy a safe, successful and rewarding DofE experience.
We don't believe in a one size fits all...contact us to discuss your requirements.
Support for Mainstream Schools
Many young people with SEND successfully complete their Duke of Edinburgh's Award within mainstream schools with their peer group/friends. If you have students who would benefit from additional planning, tailored training or extra support during their expedition, we're here to help.
Whether it's supporting an individual participant, a small group or working alongside your existing DofE team, Azarias can provide flexible solutions that enable more young people to access and enjoy the Award with confidence. Get in touch to discuss how we can support your students.
