The Civil Defence Medal (CDM) is a long service award by the United Kingdom, instituted by Queen Elizabeth II in March 1961 and awarded for 15 years continuous service in a variety of different organisations including the Civil Defence Corps (CD), the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS), the National Hospital Service Reserve (NHSR) and the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation.[2] Qualification was extended in 1963 to Civil Defence personnel in Gibraltar, Hong Kong and Malta.[3]

With most of the eligible organisations disbanded, the medal is currently only awarded to civil defence volunteers on the Isle of Man.
