Know a justice superhero? Someone who's gone the extra mile? Get them the recognition they deserve!
The Justice Awards is an annual campaign recognising outstanding achievements by staff and volunteers across the criminal justice system.
This year, nominating someone or a team for an award is easier than ever.
The Justice Awards aims to reward those who 'go the extra mile' in their work with victims, witnesses, defendants or offenders. They are designed to value and recognise the good work of colleagues and teams - exceptional work should be rewarded.
An award could not only benefit the individual but also the team and organisation. Previous winners have described winning an award as "a life changing experience", and that it "has really put our project on the map".
Do you know an individual or team going the extra mile in their work? It could be one of your team. It could be a whole team. It could be an ordinary bunch of people, working across agencies, who've achieved an extraordinary result.
We are looking for people who deserve recognition and we need you to tell us about them.
There are 15 categories this year for both individual and team nominations:
Individual Awards
- Caring for victims
- Caring for witnesses
- Tackling youth crime
- Working with offenders
