"These awards highlight some of the excellent practice that is delivering better outcomes for children. We should celebrate such good practice, learn from it, and replicate the success across the country, in order to provide all children and young people with the best start in life."

Beverley Hughes, Minister of state for children, young people and families, Department for Children, Schools and Families

 

Get the acclaim you deserve

CYP Now has launched the 2008 Children & Young People's Services Awards, run in association with the Children's Workforce Development Council.

This year's 23 categories will for the first time include awards for financial capability and for arts and culture. There will also be an outstanding achievement award selected independently by CYP Now.

The awards, now in their third year, have become the gold standard for everyone working to enhance the lives of the young, from nought to 19, and their families.

They give us all a chance to pause and admire the achievements of teams of people and individuals across the UK and share and build upon best practice.

An expert line-up of adult judges followed by a panel of young judges will determine the winners and finalists in each category.

The awards will be presented at a ceremony on 20 November at the striking Georgian clubhouse, the Hurlingham Club in London.

The deadline for entries is 31 July.
