ICE at the Awards

So, what have we been up to recently? In one word...awards!!!

The ICE web site was recently shortlisted for two major awards.

We received a commendation from the Jodi Awards; The Jodi Awards are for library, archive, museum, gallery, heritage and disability organisations.

The judges said: "Inclusive Communication Essex has real ambition and immense potential, it could, in time, transform the way local government serves people with a learning disability This new and highly innovative project is of outstanding promise".

Previously commended projects included the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, so we are definitely in prestigious company!

Essex County Councillor Jeremy Lucas, Cabinet Member for Heritage, Culture & the Arts said "This is great news for ICE, Essex Libraries and those with learning disabilities in Essex. Being commended with in the Jodi awards shows that ICE is forward thinking and acting as a leader for other local authoritieRADAR Awards groups."

We also were shortlisted for the RADAR Accessibility Provider of the Year Award. RADAR is at the forefront of national disability rights campaigns, and the event was billed as the largest Human Rights event in Europe.

Ellana Chughtai, ICE Resource Assistant said: "This was a very glitzy ceremony, with the awards being given out by some very famous people. I recognised Iain Duncan-Smith MP and Cerrie Burnell from the BBC Cbeebies.

Tommy Carr, ICE Resource Assistant said "Unfortunately the award went to Arsenal football club; but I think we have done really well to be shortlisted".

Finally, how far has ICE reached across the world? We have now had visitors from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Madagascar and even Russia! We've had over 50 visitors from the USA who have stayed an incredible 17 minutes each on average on the site. Inclusive communication is definitely worldwide!!
