These awards shine a light on the incredible individuals and teams who make up the wider justice sector workforce, who often go unrecognised for the work they do to help keep our criminal justice system running smoothly.
The 2025 awards are now finished. If you have any questions about the awards, please get in touch with our team.
The Inspire Justice Awards celebrate the essential contribution of the wider justice workforce. These unsung heroes are often hidden from public view and deserve to have their stories and contributions publicly recognised. Without these public service heroes, who help to keep us all safe from harm, our justice system would simply not function.
