Local Awards and Recognition Team good practice

Local Awards and Recognition Teams may include members who hold the the Award Nominations Supporter accreditation for their location.

Whilst the membership system will only allow s Good Service award nomination forms to be started for eligible individuals, it is the responsibility of the individuals who hold the Award Nominations Supporter accreditation (for their location) to ensure the form contains sufficient information for the award the member has been nominated for.

Before supporting/approving a nomination (especially if the nomination is for a Lead Volunteer), Local Awards and Recognition Teams should communicate with and gain support from the nominees immediate line manager to ensure the award is appropriate and supported by them.

For more information on this, please review the citation masterclass and the Good Service award nomination form examples webpages.

Nominees with multiple roles

Where a nominee holds several different roles (at District, County, Regional or National level, including if they’re a Headquarters staff member), each of the nominee's line manager’s must be consulted prior to a Good Service award nomination form being approved/supported locally, to ensure everyone agrees with the nomination.


Such enquiries should be made in confidence to the relevant Lead Volunteer(s)/line manager(s).
