The Oscar Kilo Awards have been created to recognise the amazing work that has been done and continues to be done, across UK policing when it comes to providing wellbeing support for the people who work for you.
We have seven categories to reflect the seven areas of the Blue Light Wellbeing Framework (BLWF). They are:
- Creating the Environment
- Leadership
- Absence Management
- Mental Health
- Personal Resilience
- Protecting the Workforce
- Occupational Health
This year we have also added two new categories:
- OK9 Wellbeing and Trauma Support Dog
- Police Covenant
2024 will also see a one-off award:
- Innovative Approaches to Improving Deployability
Each year we also present a ‘Special Non Police Award’, for other organisations such as a UK fire and rescue services, who are working towards completing the BLWF. This can be from any of the categories above.
