Does it disrupt school or college or work?
Participation in the Award gives young people the opportunity to develop time management skills. All activities should be undertaken in their free (i.e. non-directed) time and are often after-school, lunchtime or evening clubs; or after school or weekend activities. Since the Award is simply an extension of a young person’s personal interests and activities, and has a very open-ended completion time, Award participation can fit around school, college or other work quite easily.
