Crime Reduction - Helping to Reduce Crime in Your Area

Tilley Awards 2010

This page and the hyperlinks on the top right hand side of this page provide you with all you need to know about this year's awards. We have made a number of improvements this year so applicants are strongly encouraged to read the programme guidance before submitting an entry (see document links on the right hand side of this page)

Key changes to this year's competition

A summary of some of the key changes made to this year's awards is provided below.

The competition is now open to Local Criminal Justice Boards and their agencies.

LCJBs and their agencies are also eligible to enter the 2010 stand alone category in recognition of the overlap and common interest between their own and CDRP agendas. In particular engaging local communities to increase public confidence and reducing re-offending. See the programme guidance (accessible through the hyperlink contained within the key documents links on the right hand side of this page) to check who is eligible to enter the awards.

A stand alone category that welcomes applications from partnerships that can demonstrate that they have successfully embedded problem solving in their area has been introduced for the 2010 awards.

The national competition remains similar to last year and invites applications from projects that have successfully adopted the SARA crime prevention model to address any crime type and/or priority community safety issues.

The stand-alone category invites applications from partnerships that demonstrate how they have successfully embedded problem solving in their area.

The application process is now partly completed online

Applications will be completed in two parts. The first part will involve entering your entries details directly onto the Effective Practice Database.  A hyper-link to the database is provided on the top right hand side of this page. Please note that you will need to register your details on the database and log into the system before you are provided with the facility to submit an entry to this year's competition.  The second part of the application process involves downloading and completing a Microsoft word questionnaire. You will be prompted to attach your downloaded questionnaire at the end of the online process.

The application forms for the national competition and the stand alone category are different documents so please make sure you download the correct questionnaire. Both questionnaires are provided by accessing the appropriate links on the top right hand side of this page.

Full details of how to complete the application process are included with the 2010 Tilley Awards guidance, available through the hyperlink on the top right hand side of this page.
