Each year social workers, leaving care workers, designated teachers and residential support staff have the opportunity to nominate the young people they work with for recognition for their personal development and achievements.
Every young person nominated receives a certificate and a gift voucher and one overall winner per category is selected by an impartial panel. Every young person nominated is also invited to the Annual Achievements Awards ceremony which this year is being held on Thursday 24th July 2025.
Children and young people nominated for awards are split across two age groups, juniors aged 0-12 years, and seniors ages 13+, and are commended across five categories:
- Personal Achievement – showing resilience or personal development.
- Positive Pastimes – doing well in sport, music, social, arts or leisure activities.
- Education, Training and Employment – Virtual School Award for achievements at school, college, in training or work.
- Helping Others – helping or making a difference to other people.
- Courage – being brave in dealing with personal illness or tragedy or helping and supporting those around them.
