Next review

Recognition as an Investor in People is subject to reviews against the Investors in People Standard every three years. Therefore Ceilite will be required to be assessed no later than 21 December 2012 which is 3 years from the last day onsite - although it is entirely possible to be reviewed prior to this date.
