The Justice Awards
-------------------- NB - Submissions for this year’s awards are now closed --------------------
Scheme administrators and independent custody visitors are invited to submit nominations for the Justice Awards 2006, designed to recognise the outstanding contributions among all those working or volunteering in the criminal justice system.
Nominations are now invited for individual awards, team awards and the Lord Justice Kay Award. The closing date is 31 July 2006 and finalists and winners will be invited to an award ceremony in London in November.
The Justice Awards were established by Baroness Scotland, Minister of State for the Criminal Justice System (CJS) and Law Reform, in 2004 as your chance to make sure that outstanding performers get the credit they deserve.
Any team or individual working or volunteering in the Criminal Justice System can be nominated, including:
- Police
- National Offender Management Service (including prisons and probation)
- Her Majesty’s Courts Service (including Magistrates’ and Crown Court)
- Crown Prosecution Service
- Youth Justice System
- Criminal Defence Service (including the Public Defender Service)
Nominations are also welcomed from any voluntary organisation that works with victims, witnesses, defendants or offenders – which of course includes anyone involved with independent custody visiting.
