Colin Jones, Chief Executive, Resolution, says:
“Our first Gala Awards night is the perfect opportunity to celebrate this year’s champions of family justice. The awards are a wonderful celebration of family justice professionals and the incredible work that our members do. Resolution is the go-to organisation for anyone engaged in family work and, to mark our 40th anniversary, I can think of no better way than to recognise our members’ work across the country which promotes our Code of Practice.
From our family lawyers to our financial advisers and therapeutic professionals, we know there’s amazing work happening across the country and a commitment to Resolution’s values across the board. The awards are our chance to recognise the incredible and inspiring work being done by our members, and to celebrate those who have gone above and beyond to make a difference to the family justice landscape.”
Grant Cameron, Chair, Resolution, added:
“I would like to congratulate all of this year’s finalists for the great work they do. It has never been more important that we recognise the achievements of individuals and organisations that promote the highest professional standards in our profession. Resolution’s awards are the ultimate seal of approval for those who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.
Shining through all the entries this year is a commitment to our Code of Practice, innovation and dedication. The importance of what our members do day in, day out cannot be overstated, and it will be a great pleasure for us to come together and celebrate the very best talent, people and initiatives in our profession at Resolution’s Awards Gala Dinner.”
