Categories of Recognition
Each year the Forum recognises contributions across four categories. Winners are recorded here and remain accessible in the Forum archive.
Forum Winners
The recipients recognised at each annual Forum, listed by year.
Best Council of the Year
The country council whose work most advanced the Council's aims that year.
Best Initiative of the Year
The initiative judged to have had the greatest effect on family life.
Top Influencers
Individuals whose contribution shaped the conversation around family wellbeing.
How the categories connect
Recognition Linked Across the Network
Best Initiative and Best Council are cross-linked by location, so that an initiative can be traced to the council that delivered it, and a council to the initiatives it produced.
Council Network
Recognising Excellence Across the Network
The Annual Forum honours the councils, initiatives and specialists whose work strengthens the wider role of the Family Advisory Council.
