External Moderation

The Youth Achievement Awards recognise the work and commitment of young people aged 14 + across Scotland using a nationally recognised accreditation framework.  They are designed to encourage young people to take a more active role in their youth work activities.

Young people who are completing Youth Achievement Awards come together to form an award group who are responsible for approving each other's challenges. This group helps to review and award challenge certificates prior to national accreditation. It follows the straightforward good practice ‘Plan-Do-Review’, with the added value of peer assessment and a nationally recognised certificate.

External moderation events are held regularly. They provide quality assurance feedback to youth workers who are supporting the delivery of the awards, and qualifications authority certification for award participants.

The next Youth Achievement Awards external moderation events are:

15^th April 2010 - Stevenson College, Edinburgh.  Paperwork to be returned to Youth Scotland by 5th April
