Entrants are encouraged to support their entry with evidence or other documentation, for example customer testimonials or peer references, which they feel demonstrates their worthiness to win this award.

Entrants will be assessed on the case they put forward in the four areas outlined above. Entrants are required to have up to date CPD records should the panel wish to review the standard and extent of CPD activity.
