South Lanarkshire College has been dealt a body blow by workplace standards agency Investors in People, who have stripped the institution of the prized Platinum accreditation it has proudly held for six years.
Lanarkshire Live can reveal that, following an Investors in People (IIP) survey of staff, South Lanarkshire College (SLC) has been demoted to Standard status – the most basic of levels.
The staff survey was conducted by IIP in November 2022 – when principal Aileen McKechnie and interim clerk to the board had been suspended on full pay, pending investigations, for exactly a year.
