UK-based Guyanese jurist gets Queen’s honours
Ms. Dale Simon, Chairperson of the United Kingdom Chapter of the Guyana Law Association (GLA) and Director of Equality and Diversity of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), has been awarded a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2013 Queen’s New Year Honours List!
Guyana Law Association (UK) Chairperson Dale Simon honoured by the Queen in her 2013 New Year’s Honours List.
Ms. Simon is a founder member of the GLA (UK) and for the last four years has been the pivotal figure leading the CPS in embracing equality and diversity in its HR policies, and in delivering more sensitive prosecution policies in all areas including those connected with Race, Gender and Domestic Violence.
She also has a major influence on the equality and diversity policies of other Government departments and other public sector organisations; and, despite a very busy schedule, she nonetheless finds time to contribute significantly to voluntary organisations like the GLA (UK).
Dale has risen up the ranks from being a Crown Prosecutor to one of the CPS’s most senior positions in her role as Director of Equality and Diversity.
GLA (UK) extended congratulations Dale Simon on this recognition of her hard work and achievements during her on-going distinguished professional career and also on her immense contribution to the voluntary organisations with which she is associated.
GLA (UK) was launched ten years ago after a visit by the then Chancellor, Mme Justice Desiree Bernard OR, CCH, when she addressed the Diaspora lawyers, at a meeting arranged under the auspices of High Commissioner Laleshwar Singh CCH.
Justice Bernard asked them to assist the Justice System in Guyana by collecting and transporting donated law books and computers to Guyana.
Since then with encouragement and assistance from the High Commission, several shipments of books and computers (worth over £2m) have been sent to Guyana. Chancellor, Justice Carl Singh OR, CCH; former Attorney General, Charles Ramson OR, SC; and the current Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, have all expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the books and computers sent.
The books previously sent are available in the Supreme Court’s Library, the Law Library in Berbice, the Ministry of Legal Affairs and the University of Guyana. They are accessible for members of the Judiciary, practitioners and students.
