Wadham College, Oxford - known locally as the people's republic of Wadham because of its leftwing politics - has become the first college at Oxford to achieve recognition as an Investor in People for all its support staff.
Jill Farrell of the local Learning and Skills Council said:
"Successful organisations recognise the need to invest in their people. IiP provides a framework for success and Wadham College richly deserves the national recognition this award brings."
