Collaboration of Award Centers with External Activity Providers

There is no requirement for Award Centres to deliver the Adventurous Journey section entirely in-house. Wherever necessary, Award Centres are encouraged to seek expert advice and support from external activity providers and/or individual instructors.

When engaging with an external activity provider, Award Centres should follow the requirements of their National Award Operator, which may have specific partnering requirements, provided they have completed the required internal due diligence.

As a minimum, this should include:

• Checking the providers have the relevant local/ national activity qualifications

• Ensuring appropriate insurance cover is in place

• Ensuring the providersy/instructors meet any necessary national legislation

• Completing necessary training and safeguarding requirements with the Foundation.

External activity providers must have staff who have completed Foundation training. Award Centres must ensure that where they intend for external individuals to undertake the roles of  Adventurous Journey Supervisors and Adventurous Journey Assessors, that these individuals are suitably trained. The Foundation maintains a database of providers and adults who have completed the relevant training. 

Please see the trusted providers that are officially approved to offer activities that count toward the Award, making it easier for you to find verified opportunities to complete the Adventurous Journey section.

Important: It’s up to you to research and decide if a Registered Activity Provider is the right fit for your Award journey. The Award doesn’t promote one provider over another, we’re simply sharing a list of options for you and your Award Centre to explore and consider.
