Our values

Individuality

We respect the uniqueness of each person we work with and develop services imaginatively that meet their individual needs and differences.

Equality of Opportunity

We actively promote the rights of each individual. We want people to achieve their goals and make real choices towards a positive future. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to make their own contribution to the community in which they live.

Support and Independence

We believe in offering support to people who use our services in ways which should minimise their reliance on in-put from professional services. We are committed to enabling people to make friendships, relationships and community networks.

Best Value

We are committed to the continuous improvement of services which provide both quality and value for money to the community.

Valuing Staff

We believe in the strength of teamwork and of the individual. We work to improve the knowledge and skills of all our staff through a culture of continuous learning and sensible levels of investment to achieve this.

Accountability

We are committed to working openly with people who use our services, staff, our management board, and external voluntary and statutory bodies. We work to communicate with and involve all of those people in the decisions in which they have an interest.

Campaigning

We actively campaign, nationally and locally, to raise the profile of the people we support and ensure that services, where possible, are improved.

Sustainability

We want to create a better quality of life for tenants and staff now and in the future. We are committed to keeping our environmental impact to a minimum and, over the long term, will ensure that all of our practices and developments are sustainable.

Commitment

We strive to incorporate our values into all our policies, procedures and day-to-day working practices.
