Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs)

Investors in People

Investors in People (IiP) is a national quality standard which sets best practice for improving an organisation’s performance through its people. Lambeth achieved corporate IiP recognition in December 2004. Few other councils have achieved corporate recognition. Find out more about Lambeth's IiP accreditaion.

'Two ticks' disability accreditation

Lambeth Council have been awarded the 'Two Ticks' accreditation. This symbol is awarded by Jobcentre Plus to employers who have agreed to take action to meet five commitments regarding the employment of disabled people. These are:

1. to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities
2. to ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss, at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities
3. to make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment
4. to take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work
5. each year to review the five commitments and what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans.

For more information on the 'two ticks' accreditation please see the Jobcentre Plus website.
