Pride of DPT Awards 2026

Last week, Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD) attended Devon Partnership Trust’s (DPT) annual Pride of DPT Awards and what a fantastic afternoon it was, celebrating the people who make a difference every day.

With more than 290 nominations, the awards recognised the compassion, dedication and commitment shown by colleagues across DPT. Alongside celebrating the winners, every finalist was recognised as a highly commended nominee, whose work has a positive impact on patients, carers, colleagues and communities.

A special congratulations to Zero Jackson, Expert by Experience and CFHD Young Advisor who won the Inspirational Colleague Award – Non-clinical.

We’re also proud to celebrate our Highly Commended colleagues:

*Mood, Emotions and Relationships (MERs) Pathway – Clinical Team of the Year
*East CAMHS Admin Team – Non-clinical Team of the Year
*Speech, language and communication Pathway – Improvement Award

As award winner Zero said: “Winning the Pride of DPT award was shocking to me to say the least! For the work I put in to be recognised to such an extent felt completely surreal. Winning to me wasn’t even the best part of the event, although it of course was amazing and made me feel very proud of my contribution to the service. The best part was being given the opportunity to celebrate each and every persons successes and watch the kind faces of everyone around me celebrate one another.”

Congratulations to all this year’s winners, finalists and highly commended nominees.
