The AWCIC Awards are a standalone event celebrating the important recognition of the hard work being carried out by public service continuous improvement practitioners throughout Wales.

Public service finances continue to set challenges. The work of continuous improvement practitioners provides the support to meet and transform these challenges into opportunities to deliver more citizen focused services. The good work undertaken at organisation, team and individual levels deserve recognition.

These awards aim to celebrate success and provide the opportunity to spread good practice across public services; and add further value to the all year round AWCIC programme of work; Learn and Share events, annual conference.
