The Oscar Kilo Awards have been created to recognise the amazing work that has been done, and continues to be done, to provide wellbeing support across UK policing.
Each year we ask forces to tell us about any work or projects that they feel have made a difference to the wellbeing of their officers and staff.

Award categories
We have seven categories to reflect the seven areas of the Blue Light Wellbeing Framework (BLWF). If you, or a colleague, have completed, or are working towards the BLWF and have created a project or programme that is making a difference to your force, and is worthy of recognition, then let us know!
The categories are:
- Creating the environment
- Leadership
- Absence management
- Mental health
- Personal resilience
- Protecting the workforce
- Occupational health
This year we have also added two new categories:
- OK9 wellbeing and trauma support dog
- Police Covenant
2024 will also see a special one-off award:
- Innovative approaches to improving deployability
Each year we also present a ‘special non police award’, for other organisations such as a UK fire and rescue services, who are working towards completing the BLWF. This can be from any of the categories above.
