* LATEST NEWS *
We are delighted to announce that Professional Services has successfully been accredited by Investors in People (IiP) for another 3 year period following assessment in November 2012.
The internal review group are already working towards an overall goal for the next period of 2012-15 which is to assist each member (and in turn their respective service) to continue to deliver excellence to the institute.
Investors in People
Investors in People is a national quality standard that focuses on the importance of staff to the success of any organisation. It provides a framework of criteria against which organisations can measure their performance. Key areas relate to organisational planning and evaluation, good management practice, communications, recognition of contribution and support for staff development.

Professional Services departments first jointly achieved the liP Standard in 2002. Between October 2002 and 2006 we retained the Standard following two further external assessments. These were carried out by Mark Lewis who met with a sample group of staff across Professional Services departments. From conversations with senior managers, middle managers and staff he gathered evidence to determine whether or not we had met the Standard. On each occasion he provided a report detailing areas of good practice and areas for development.
Following the assessment in 2006 we had the opportunity to continue working with the IiP Standard by carrying out internal review and successfully retained the standard in November 2012.
