CoLRiC awards

A significant benefit of CoLRiC membership is the eligibility to nominate a team or individual for our two national awards.

Every year we issue a call for nominations that demonstrate the creativity, quality and organisational impact of service provision on the teaching, learning and student experience. It provides an opportunity to take stock, reflect on and evaluate your contributions to college life.

CoLRiC Executive Committee

CoLRiC celebrates exemplary practice and innovation across the Further Education and Sixth Form College sector. How is your team making a difference? Do you work with a colleague who has made an exceptional contribution to the workplace?

Every year we issue a call for nominations from members to be considered for two national CoLRiC awards:

  • The CoLRiC Innovative Practice Award (CIPA) – for teams that can demonstrate the value and impact of their service provision in any capacity
  • The Jeff Cooper Inspirational Information Professional of the Year Award – named in honour of CoLRiC’s founder and presented to an individual who has demonstrated a commitment to change lives and empower students

Both awards celebrate creativity, resourcefulness and enterprise in Library and Learning Resource Services across the sector. Applications are reviewed by a judging panel comprising sector experts and members of CoLRiC’s Executive Committee. Winners receive a trophy and a certificate and are invited to share their story with the CoLRiC community in our quarterly publication CoLRiC Impact.
