10 AWARDS BAWP sixth annual aw


THE winners of this year’s BAWP awards gathered in Edinburgh in November to be presented with their trophies. The event was compered by one of the


two organisers, Julia Jaeger, over a celebratory lunch at the city’s George Hotel. Many of the sponsors were represented at the ceremony showing their commitment and support for BAWP. Chief Executive of the Springboard Consultancy Jenny Daisley who sponsored the mentoring award, said: “All of these awards recognise in one way or another how women working in


the British police achieve and contribute something outstanding. We know Lois Stanger, who won the mentoring award, as she is licensed to deliver our Spring Forward programme so we are pleased to see her getting well deserved recognition.” Praise for the event came from far and wide with DCI Gill Murray saying it “inspired” her and helped her focus on her impending DCI board, which she has since been successful in. Victoria Breakley said she found the event


humbling. “I felt in awe of some of my police colleagues who have achieved great


things. The atmosphere was celebratory and made me realise that we all play a big part in policing, whether we are officers or support staff,” she added. The winners and their guests were invited to help celebrate BAWP’s 25th Anniversary at the Scottish Parliament buildings that evening – see page 8. The Scottish Women’s Development Forum annual conference was also on offer the next day for those staying overnight in Edinburgh.
