Nominate someone in education for an honour

Every year, people who have made a significant contribution to public life through vital and extraordinary work are recognised with an honour.

Most of the awards are given to those who have been nominated by a colleague or member of the public and are then recommended by the Prime Minister or senior Government Minister.

Anyone can nominate someone to be considered for an honour but it’s important to encourage those who work or volunteer in education and childcare to put forward peers and colleagues who have made an outstanding contribution.

Receiving an honour can be life changing. It’s an opportunity to spotlight important causes and celebrate those who are working to make society a better place.

Nomination forms should be completed online, see this link. It’s a straightforward online process – applicants will need two supporting letters to back up their nomination. There is no formal deadline to make a nomination, but to be considered for an honour in 2024, it would be best to submit nominations as soon as possible.
