Policies and Governance

This page summarises The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Barbados' key documents, policies and procedures that govern how the Award operates locally.

These policies are set to ensure that the Award meets and maintains the required Governance, Management and Delivery Standards set by The International Award Foundation (IAF), while in keeping with the regulations of the Government of Barbados.

These key documents and policies will evolve over time as new tools emerge, processes are updated and developed, and the risks associated with an area of work changes in response to internal or external developments.
