About Oxfordshire Open Award

Oxfordshire Open Award

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Oxfordshire is primarily run through a number of DofE Centres - schools and other self-governing organisations - that hold their own DofE operating licence (Directly Licensed Centres, or DLCs). In addition to the DLCs, a new charity, Oxfordshire Open Award, has been set up by a group of experienced Oxfordshire DofE volunteers, to run a county-wide Operating Authority to hold the DofE licence for open groups and individual participants not attached to a DLC.
