DfE Honours
Honours are awarded twice a year for outstanding achievement or outstanding service.
Do you know someone who deserves an Honour?
Someone who deserves recognition for making a difference; dedicating time to charity work; or helping their community?

| Job creation | Research and Development |
| Energy | Health and Safety |

| Further Education | Skills Development |
| Higher Education | Creative Industries |

- Making a difference to communities or to specific fields of work
- Voluntary service
