COPE Ltd first received I.I.P. accreditation in 1999. The award is given for a 3 year period and if continued accreditation is required a review is subsequently carried out. COPE Ltd has successfully been reviewed in 2002 and 2005. In 2008 we were granted a review extension by I.I.P. until February 2009. This review has now been completed and our thanks go to all members of staff who were involved in this process. The assessor from I.I.P. chose staff from every level of activity within our organisation from the Board of Trustees to volunteers and also between male and female, and full time and part time staff, thereby giving a truly representative overview of COPE Ltd. We are delighted to announce that this latest review was successful and that COPE Ltd. remains an active member of I.I.P. Our thanks to all of those that took part in the interview process.'08 - Best ever rubbish year!
