No Barriers Award
This is an award scheme given to businesses/organisations or individuals who have provided exceptional customer service to disabled people.
This idea was developed with Redditch Borough Council’s Disability and Age Sub group as a similar scheme had been running in Wyre Forest for two years. The scheme in Wyre Forest has been very successful and they held their their second award ceremony in Autumn 2010.
The Redditch award scheme is dedicated to the memory of Betty Passingham in recognition of all the work she did with Redditch communities.
A panel makes the final decision on the awards. The panel is made up of Councillors, Officers from Redditch Borough Council and Redditch Community Members.
The 2010 No Barriers Award event was held on 10th August at Redditch Town Hall. The event was very well attended with guest speaker Sandy Bannister, Corporate Diversity Manager, Worcestershire County Council and Ron Passingham.
The 2011 No Barries Awards is now open for nominations. You can download the nominations form here. The closing date for nominations is 31st October 2011.
An on line nominations form will be available shortly.
