Be part of the journey

By using the Duke of Ed Framework your young person will be empowered to take control of their personal development through unique opportunities to explore unfamiliar environments, engage in new activities, and meet new people. As a parent or guardian, you can be part of this important journey.

Self-belief and self-confidence
A sense of identity
Initiative and a sense of responsibility
A real awareness of their strengths
New talents and abilities
The ability to plan and use time effectively
Learning from and giving to others in the community
Forming new friendships
Problem solving, presentation and communication skills
Leadership and team-working skills

“ The Duke of Ed has given our son a lot of confidence and respect amongst his school mates and teachers during his schooling, which has carried on through his time at university.”
