Honours and Nominations
National Honours Nominations and the Role of SRP ' s Honours Nomination Advisory Committee( HNAC)
HNAC needs your help please in suggesting SRP members who can be nominated to receive a Public Honour. The person must have made a real difference in the radiation protection community and stand out from the crowd.
Importantly the individual must still be actively involved in what they are being nominated for and they must not be informed about the nomination at any point in the lengthy process.
The National Honours lists are published twice a year: at New Year and in June( The King ' s Birthday Honours). Information on honours can be found at www. gov. uk / honours.
Information on your suggested nominee ' s outstanding achievements, how they have made a difference and / or how their work has enhanced the UK ' s reputation in their area of activity should be submitted confidentially at any time during the year to SRP ' s Admin Office( admin @ srp-uk. org). Evidence is essential for the final application, so please include names of those who could provide supporting letters. The SRP Admin Office will forward your suggestions to the Chair of HNAC.
HNAC can then decide whether the nomination should go forward and if so, with the approval of the SRP President, start the lengthy process of completing the nomination form. This process is entirely confidential; the name is known only by HNAC and the SRP President.
The SRP President sends the form to the Cabinet Office where it is checked by relevant government departments. If it is judged to have merit it is forwarded for review to the appropriate honours committee who decide whether the honour is awarded.
