Following the successful launch of our two excellent Sir Graham Smith Awards for 2023 we are pleased to open the Award Scheme for 2024. 

Applications will be open until 31st January 2024.

The Information Sheet and Application Form for 2024 are on our website. Please read the guidance carefully.

The scheme is open to all practitioners working in rehabilitation across the justice sector. To apply you will need

• A developed research proposal in the field of community justice and rehabilitation accessible to your practice and capable of completion in roughly 40 days across 6 months

• The support of your employer including recognition of the need for time to complete the project. 

• Two references one of which must be your employer.

You do not need to be an experienced researcher - this is an excellent opportunity to develop research skills.
