e received an email in response from the National Diversity Awards:
"Sorry but we could not find any nominations listed for that email address.
Please try contacting us for help.
Regards,
The National Diversity Awards Team
We had, of course, already tried emailing the National Diversity Awards team to ask for help but had received no response.
We tried again. We emailed and outlined the steps we had taken and asked for clarification.
We received another email:
Many thanks for your email and apologies for any inconvenience.
Unfortunately, upon confirming your nomination, we received a number of complaints which are currently being investigated by our advisory panel.
During the nomination process, it is our obligation to review any issues raised and we are committed to ensuring our nominees values align with the inclusive ethos of The National Diversity Awards.
Once our advisory panel have completed their investigation we will be in touch.
Thank you for your understanding.
Given that we had not completed our public profile page, we wondered where “a number of complaints” could have originated from.
We were also astonished that the National Diversity Awards had only informed us that our nomination had been rescinded when we approached them for an explanation.
