Prosper Learning Trust Awarded We Invest in People Silver Accreditation

Prosper Learning Trust is delighted to have been awarded the We Invest in People Silver Accreditation, after being assessed by Investors in People.

The process of awarding this delves into the Trust's culture, strategies, and support for employees, with only 22% of organisations achieving the silver award. Investors in People carried out an independent staff survey on the Trust's behalf to obtain feedback that is vital to shaping the future strategic direction of the Trust and assisting in maintaining an engaged workforce.

Chris Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Prosper Learning Trust, said: "I'm really pleased that we have been able to achieve the IIP Silver Award. It's a nationally recognised accreditation that sets a high bar in terms of meeting the required criteria. It's a fitting testimony to all of the hard work that goes on in schools, and centrally to try and recruit and retain the best people and look after them properly when they are with us. That said, we know there is more to do and we will listen carefully to feedback in an attempt to get better at providing the support our people deserve."

Investors in People use a framework for their assessments that focuses on leadership, support, and improvement in order to effectively measure performance. This gives people a voice, measures and recognises progress, and also helps create an understanding of areas for improvement.
