Worcestershire County Council’s approach to accessibility has been highly commended, as it came in second place in two categories at the national MJ Awards.
SCULPT for Accessibility, the Council's model for digital accessibility, was shortlisted in the ‘Innovation in Building Diversity’ and ‘Workforce Transformation’ categories.
Sandra Taylor, Assistant Director of IT and Digital at Worcestershire County Council, said: “SCULPT is continuing to gain momentum and our model is being recognised and used nationally, and that's something our whole organisation can be very proud of. If everyone hadn't taken their time to adopt and embrace new skills to support SCULPT, we wouldn’t be where we are now. We still have lots of work to do, but significant progress really has been made. The recognition from the MJ awards is a fantastic representation of the hard work and dedication our team put in to continuing to develop SCULPT, and I look forward to seeing the model grow.”
London Boroughs of Sutton and Kingston upon Thames won the Workforce Transformation category and South Lanarkshire won the Innovation in Building Diversity award.
The awards ceremony was held at the Park Plaza Hotel in Westminster, London and presented by Clive Myrie, the BBC newsreader and Mastermind host.
The MJ Awards have been held every year since 2004 with great success, rewarding many officers, managers teams and councils.
The MJ Awards ceremony is one of the major events within the public sector calendar. Winning an MJ Award not only allows local authorities to be recognised for the delivery of their services over the last 12 months but it also allows them to share their expertise with their peers.
This may not be the end of the success story for SCULPT.
SCULPT has also been shortlisted for the Digital Impact Award at the LGC Awards.
This year’s LGC Awards are being held on 20 July at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
