About the event

We all know a community hero who deserves an honour but how do they end up on the honours list? In the New Year’s Honours List 65% of awards went to people who had done outstanding work in or for their local community.

This one hour session gives a behind the scenes look at how the honours system operates, and gives top tips on what to include in your nomination.

Honours recipients shared their experiences in British Sign Language and there is also advice from one of the honours independent committee members on what they look for in a nomination.
