Publicising the Awards
To encourage nominations in your workplace, it would help if you could:
- ask members of the SMT to help identify potential nominees among their teams;
- post notices to staff and prisoners/detainees (suggested wording below);
- place our posters where both staff and prisoners/detainees can see them*;
- ensure the library have received their packs (posters etc)*.
[* we send them to the Governor/Director in the second half of May – do let us know if you can’t find them.]
Publicity notices
Here’s some wording you might want to use for notices to staff and prisoners/residents (feel free to adapt it to your needs).
Nominations for this year’s Butler Trust Awards are now open. The Awards are for people working in custodial, probation and youth justice settings across the UK. They are presented by HRH The Princess Royal (Princess Anne) – and are often called the Oscars for the sector.
The Trust welcomes recommendations from both staff and prisoners/detainees. If you would like to put someone forward, please contact {NAME}.
Please note: we will need to collect some additional information in support of your recommendation, and the closing date for nominations is 30 June – so please make your recommendations in plenty of time.
