Alarm Launches 2011 Annual Risk Management Awards Scheme

24th February 2011

 

2011 Alarm AwardsAlarm, the public risk management association has today launched the 2011 Alarm Annual Awards Scheme. Entering the Awards is a great opportunity not only to raise the profile of risk management within public service organisations but also to ensure that achievements in public service risk management are recognised.

Previous Alarm Awards finalists have demonstrated imaginative approaches to tackling both local and major societal risk issues including anti-social behaviour, obesity, school security and corporate performance. This year Alarm has worked to review the existing Awards categories to ensure that the full range of responsibilities and issues currently being managed by our profession are reflected. As a result 2011 sees the introduction of the Community Risk Award which will recognise contributions to improve resilience, cohesion and projects within local communities.

Alarm CEO, Dr Lynn Drennan said “As the premier public risk management association in the UK Alarm has been recognising and rewarding excellence in public services for over 15 years. At a time when the public sector is facing the challenges of doing more with less, winning an award can boost staff morale and help move risk management up the corporate agenda”.
