Peak Assessor Network

The Peak Assessor Network is a group of over 60 volunteer Network members, all keen hillwalkers and accredited assessors, who are interested in assisting young people to undertake their DofE expeditions successfully in the Peak District.

The Peak Assessor Network is one of the Assessor Networks (previously known as Wild Country Panels) in the United Kingdom which have been established by the DofE to advise on expeditions undertaken in their areas. Our key tasks are to ensure that the standards of the DofE are being met, that local knowledge is passed to Teams coming into the area, and that the relationship between DofE teams and locals remains amicable.

The Peak Assessor Network mainly assesses Gold teams but will consider requests for Silver teams and occasionally Bronze. When an Assessor Network assessor is requested, the DofE has introduced a charging system for 2010 to cover expenses incurred by assessors.
