Do you know a colleague who goes above and beyond the call of duty in their job? Give them the recognition they deserve by nominating them for a Justice Award today.
Anyone working at the front line of criminal justice with victims, witnesses, defendants, offenders and the local community is eligible for the awards, both individuals and teams. This includes people working in the Courts Service, the CPS, police, the Prison Service, the Probation Service and youth offending teams.
This year the awards have been opened up to magistrates, who can now, for the first time, be nominated for an award as well as nominating their colleagues.
Staff and volunteers in all criminal justice agencies work extremely hard to make a difference to their communities. The recognition and publicity that a Justice Award gives to an agency is invaluable.
Awards manager, Helen Stear said: “We want everyone to tell us about the people they work with and the projects they work on, as there are so many stories of dedication and excellence out there.”
The Justice Awards are organised by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform to recognise outstanding achievement by staff from a criminal justice agency or from a voluntary sector organisation working with victims, witnesses, defendants or offenders.
