The Awards Network provides a forum for organisations that offer awards across Scotland to the 12 to 25 age group using youth work approaches to:
- Promote Awards opportunities for young people in Scotland to young people and youth workers to encourage participation and improve access
- Promote information about the content and benefit of Awards to prospective employers education establishments, other stakeholders and the wider public
- Share information, skills and good practice in appropriate areas
- Conduct any other partnership project or activity which develops or promotes access to individual learning awards in Scotland
There are currently 22 members of this network.

Amazing Things
Members of the Awards Network worked together to produce an awards guide detailing the various awards and highlighting their contribution to young people’s achievement and the Curriculum for Excellence.
Originally made available in July 2008, the most recent update of this guide is called Amazing Things 2, and was made available as a free download in December 2009.
