| AdminHistory | Inaugurated in 1994 as the Award for Challenging Inequality of Opportunity; renamed in 2000 as the Award for Promoting Equality of Opportunity. No awards were made from 2009 until 2012, when the award was relaunched.
From 1994 to 2008 this annual award of the Standing Committee for the Promotion of Equal Opportunities (SCPEO) was given to a member of the Society, from any field and at any point in their career, who had demonstrated a commitment to the welfare of others and had, through their practice, gone beyond what is normally expected in challenging discrimination and promoting equal treatment.
Since 2013 the award has been made by the Ethics Committee to recognise a person whose work as a psychologist (teacher, researcher or practitioner) has made a significant contribution to challenging social inequalities in the UK in relation to gender, race, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, disability or age.
