    The Seni Lewis Award recognises exceptional work that strengthens co-operation between mental health services and the police, to shape crisis care that reduces harm and builds trust, helping to prevent future tragedies and ensure care is delivered with dignity and respect.

    The national search is underway to find NHS and police teams working together to keep people in mental health crisis safe, with the chance to be recognised through the Seni Lewis Award.

    The award was created as a lasting legacy in honour of Olaseni ‘Seni’ Lewis, who tragically died in 2010, at Bethlem Royal Hospital, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) after being held in prolonged restraint.

    NHS teams and partner organisations across the UK are invited to submit nominations showcasing how their work is improving safety for people in crisis, reducing restrictive practices, and involving patients and carers in shaping services.

    Nominations can be submitted via the Seni Lewis Award portal until 10 October 2025: https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/improving-care/seni-lewis-award
