Nominations for the ICT awards are reviewed by ICT Assemble, a group of colleagues who volunteer from different teams and roles across the department.
To give your nomination the best chance of being considered for an award, we’ve put together some advice below.
- Say what a person/team specifically did that demonstrated excellent work and/or going above and beyond
- Mention the impact their work had or its outcome. Be as specific and detailed as you can.
- You can give multiple examples of a person/team demonstrating excellent work and/or going above and beyond. Detail is needed to understand how the person or team you are nominating for meets the criteria.
- Give clear examples - don’t just list adjectives e.g. 'helpful', 'friendly', 'responsive' and avoid generic statements like, 'doing a good job' or 'demonstrated collaboration'.
- Provide details even if they seem obvious to you. ICT is made up of over 300 staff and we would need the specifics to make a good judgement of their work.
- Use simple, clear, everyday English. Define acronyms, avoid technical language where possible and explain terminology if you must include it.
- Nomination must be 1000 characters or more.
