Current IIP Champions

Page updated: 30/04/2025

We have been developing staff to become IiP Champions for over 10 years. This has given staff the opportunity to be actively involved in supporting our IiP assessments. One of our newest IiP Champions is Lyndsay McNicholl who works in the Communities Department as a Service Development Lead.  

Lyndsay explains below why she wanted to become an IiP Champion and what she got out of the experience.  

“… I became an IiP Champion because I wanted to know more about the IiP framework, learn more about the different departments across the Council and to meet new people ….”  

“… the opportunity gave me a better understanding of the different roles across the Council, listening to how staff felt proud to work with their teams to support our customers and communities as well as listening on challenges staff face and where we need to improve…”  

“…becoming an IiP Champion has supported me with my own professional development, I learned new skills around listening and interviewing which has also helped me in my day-to-day work. I’ve enjoyed being part of the IiP Champion team, meeting new people, making connections across the Council, and seeing how our core values are embedded into everything we do each day …”
