Hints & Tips

Tips for entering

The judges will be looking for hard facts rather than bland statements or unsupported assertions. It may be useful/appropriate to include:

• A brief description of the individual, team, organisation, initiative or product
• A brief description of aims and achievements, with specific examples to illustrate why the nomination deserves to win
• Particular issues or challenges faced and how these were addressed
• If the work was innovative or broke new ground, state how
• What are the views of children and families about the nominated individual or service
• Have they been involved in the development of a service?
• Give details of any partners involved
• Evidence of success. Supporting material could include:
  
                                     Printed or online material produced as part of a project
                                     Testimonials or supporting statements
                                     Research, inspection or evaluation reports
                                     Details of awards, kitemarks etc
                                     Press cuttings, promotional material or photographs to give a flavour of the nominated work

Do not overload the judges with material. Make what you send in really count
