A meeting was held with the IIP Assessor in February prior to the departure of Sarah Fowler to capture her insights of leading the Authority and the IIP journey we have been on. This was followed by two online IIP questionnaires to all staff.  took place In March, it was the We invest in People questionnaire and in April, the We invest in wellbeing questionnaire. Both questionnaires were anonymous.  The Management Team have met with the Assessor after some initial findings from the questionnaires to enable the Assessor to tease out and understand some of the issues that had been highlighted.

Although the IIP Report was not yet available the Assessor had indicated that the Authority had achieved ‘Established’ or ‘Silver’ status which will be confirmed by the report. Only 15% of all organisations assessed by the IIP achieve Silver.

 

Members congratulated all those involved in obtaining a higher status of ‘Established’.
