Nominations Process
A nomination has two elements (you can download the relevant forms by clicking on the links):
- An initial recommendation from a colleague, prisoner/detainee, or member of the public; and
- supporting documentation completed by the Local Champion, and signed off by the Governor/Director.
The forms can be completed electronically, or printed out and filled in by hand. If completed electronically, it is best to download to a computer first to ensure they save properly. [We ask people to use the official forms where possible, but we are happy to accept (initial) recommendations from prisoners/detainees in other formats.]
For joint nominations, please complete one supporting documentation form per nominee.
Note: Nominations can be completed at any time during the year, but the deadline for each year’s Awards is always 30th June. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to grant a short extension if you are having trouble completing the supporting documentation in time, but any extension must be approved before the deadline – so if you think you may need an extension please let us know in plenty of time.
