Solid Silver!

We've had some great news here at the Sycamore Trust - we have been awarded accreditation against the Investors in People Standard, demonstrating our commitment to realising the potential of our staff. 

Investors in People is the international standard for people management, defining what it takes to lead, support and manage people effectively to achieve sustainable results. Underpinning the Standard is the Investors in People framework, reflecting the latest workplace trends, essential skills and effective structures required to outperform in any industry. Working with clients across the globe, Investors in People enables organisations to benchmark against the best in the business on an international scale.

Paul Devoy, Head of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate the Sycamore Trust, Investors in People accreditation is the sign of a great employer, and an organisation committed to achieving success by realising the potential of their people. The Sycamore Trust should be extremely proud of their achievement.”

The Sycamore Trust was awarded bronze status in 2015, and has shown a strong sense of common cause and commitment based on an understanding of the business ambition in order to achieve silver status. This is underpinned by a strong vocational commitment to engaging with the community and providing effective support to people on the autistic spectrum, their families and carers. 

Commenting on the award, Sycamore CEO Chris Gillbanks, said: We’re thrilled that the hard work and commitment of all our staff and volunteers has been recognized.  We love what we do and we are very proud to serve the local community and provide support for families in the boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.”
