The Attorney General, KC MP is inviting
nominations for the Prosecution Team and Prosecutor of the Year
Awards.
The awards are open to prosecutors and teams who are members of
the Whitehall Prosecutors’ Group and signatories to the 2009
Prosecutor’s Convention, including the Environment Agency, the
Insolvency Service, SFO, CPS and the AGO.
This year’s awards will see a new category looking to recognise
the best individual prosecutor, in addition to celebrating an
excellent prosecuting team.
The Attorney General, KC MP said:
As Attorney General, I have seen first-hand the excellent work
across the range of prosecuting authorities. From larger bodies
who tackle serious economic crime and convict violent offenders
to smaller bodies who protect people from unsafe food or
pollution – their work benefits us all.
I am pleased to announce the launch of the Prosecution Team of
the Year and Prosecutor of the Year Awards and welcome entries
that clearly demonstrate innovation, best use of resources and
outcomes that improve public confidence. Good luck to all those
who enter.
Entries can focus on one significant, complex, or sensitive case
or an effective ongoing relationship between one or more
signatories.
Judges will be looking for submissions that can demonstrate
prosecuting excellence and entries will be sifted by an
independent cross-Government panel.
The winners and runners-up will be picked by the Law Officers and
the deadline to submit is midnight 31 January 2024.
Applications must not exceed 500 words and for further
information email ProsecutorsAward@attorneygeneral.gov.uk.
