Investors in People gold award presented to BHT Sussex

We are proud to share that we have once again been awarded gold accreditation by Investors in People, recognising our commitment to delivering excellence through our people. This prestigious accreditation reflects an inclusive people-centred culture built on compassionate, values-led leadership, where colleagues feel supported, empowered, and connected to a shared social purpose.

The assessment highlighted learning and development as a major strength, where staff are actively supported to grow, develop, and contribute to the charity’s mission.

Investors in People is an independent community interest company and an agent of change, calling for a movement that puts people first.

Daniel O’Connell, Director of People, Safety & Learning, had this to say:

“Achieving Gold status reflects the dedication of our colleagues and the strength of our people and values led approach. We are committed to creating an environment where people can thrive, develop, and deliver meaningful outcomes for those we support. BHT Sussex was also recognised for embedding a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that feedback, reflection, and innovation are part of everyday practice across all services. This approach enables BHT Sussex to remain resilient and consistently strengthen the quality and impact of its work within the communities it serves.”

Andy Moreland, Investors in People Practitioner, shared these words:

“Throughout the assessment, people spoke with genuine pride about working for BHT Sussex. The organisation continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting, developing, and empowering its people, enabling them to make a meaningful difference to the lives of others every day. Retaining Investors in People Gold accreditation is a fantastic achievement and recognition of the commitment shown by people across BHT Sussex. With fewer than a third of accredited organisations reaching Gold level, this is something everyone should be extremely proud of.”
