Investors in People silver accreditation for Innovative Technology
Investors in People is delighted to award Innovative Technology Ltd, Oldham-based cash handling and biometrics solutions provider, We Invest in People, silver accreditation. The accreditation means that the right principles are in place and the people and leaders are making active efforts to make sure that there is real consistency and everyone in the organisation are feeling the effects.
Commenting on the award, Peter Dunlop, Group Managing Director, said: “The IIP Silver Award accreditation is a great achievement for our organisation, and I would personally like to thank everyone who contributed. For me the most important finding from the survey was that employees feel proud to work at ITL and think it’s a great place to work. People are our most important asset, so keeping everyone committed and loyal is key. There were some real strengths which came through during the review process including a high level of understanding of our values Innovation, Collaboration, Respect & Drive and agreement that these are reflected within the organisation. After celebrating 30 years in business last year, we look forward to a bright future ahead as we continue to develop and transform our business driven by our valued employees.”
Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Innovative Technology. Silver accreditation for the We Invest in People accreditation is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places Innovative Technology in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
Ann Marsh, ITL People & Resourcing Manager, commented, “We are thrilled to attain the silver IIP accreditation, with only 15% of organisations achieving silver status, this is a very positive result for ITL against the robust Gen 6 IIP framework. Positive outcomes include employees feeling encouraged to use their initiative and believe they have appropriate levels of responsibility plus the results found that we responded well to the changes and challenges brought about by the pandemic. The review is a great opportunity for us to hear from everyone at ITL and we are using employee feedback to continue to strive for improvements to ensure the learning continues.”

Australia has enforced an online gambling credit card ban, meaning that players can no longer use them as a payment method.
Responsible Wagering Australia (RWA) and its members have been strong supporters of this measure and have worked with the Commonwealth Government and the financial services industry since 2021 to deliver this credit card ban.
Responsible Wagering Australia CEO Kai Cantwell said that this change was much needed, as Australians should only be gambling with money that they have.
“This is an important measure to protect customers, making it easier for people to stay in control of their own gambling behaviour,” Mr Cantwell said.
“It will complement the existing offering of safer gambling account management tools by RWA members.
“RWA and its members support the extension of this measure to all forms of gambling that have been exempted from the ban such as lotteries and keno.
“If consumer protection measures aren’t consistent across all forms of gambling it will incentivise vulnerable Australians to move to less-regulated types of gambling, where they are more at risk of harm.”
RWA members provide a range of tools to ensure people can gamble safely, many of which have been adopted by the Commonwealth Government as part of the National Consumer Protection Framework (NCPF).
“The NCPF is expected to be evaluated shortly and we look forward to engaging in this process to ensure that consumer protection tools are fit-for-purpose and support a safe and sustainable regulated gambling environment,” Mr Cantwell said.

The Ukrainian Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL) has announced that it has blocked 371 unlicensed gambling websites. It said joint action with the security service led to the issue of Order No. 451/2256, which instructs service providers to block the domains using Domain Name System (DNS) servers.
KRAIL said that during April and May it issued 1000 orders to limit access to domain names and subdomains.
While KRAIL remains operational, Ukraine’s parliament voted in April to disband the regulator. There had been criticism of the regulator’s collegial structure, which requires at least five of its six members to be present for meetings to be valid. Amid disruption caused by military service following the Russian invasion, this has often led to meetings being cancelled and long delays for licence applications.
There will be a second reading of the bill before it can be signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The liquidation of KRAIL would put gambling regulation under the digital transformation ministry until a new regulator is established.
