Our Values
The core values that underpin everything we do are:
- Child-centred - children are at the heart of everything we do and are recognised as competent individuals with interests and abilities. Children are enabled to make their own decisions.
- Inspirational - we consistently develop and share new ideas to inspire adults to work creatively with children. Children are encouraged to explore their own creative potential and abilities. Clients and partners are motivated to develop creative opportunities for children.
- Fun - people who work with us have enjoyable experiences as participants in our activities, partners to our business or deliverers of our work.
- Inclusive - we accord respect to indivduals and groups and trust is promoted by open and honest dealings with people. We actively promote equality of opportunity in all aspects of our work.
- Approachable - we are friendly and easy to talk to. Our work is accessible to children and adults alike. We are open minded and can adapt to the external world.
- Client focused - we seek to keep our promises and learn from our mistakes. The quality of people’s lives is improved through their interaction with us.
- Innovative - conventional ways of doing things are challenged and variety in products, services and workers is sought. We promote journeys of discovery and are not afraid to take risks in our work.
- Collaborative - we work with our communities and external groups to achieve our goals. People share responsibility and work across organisational boundaries. We actively seek opportunities to work in partnership rather than isolation.
