Coming soon – the Defence Honours, Awards and Recognition Policy (DHARP) which will provide up to date policy and guidance information regarding honours, awards and recognition.
The Defence Honours & Awards Manual (DHAM) was first published in 2012 to provide a sole reference to information required for the administration of the honours and awards system within Defence. This included not just policy, but also procedures required to support the nomination and processing of awards. Work on reviewing the DHAM began in 2019 to ensure that Defence honours, awards and recognition policy is in line with the Defence administrative policy framework.
The DHARP brings Defence honours, awards and recognition policy in line with the Defence administrative policy framework.
