Our culture and values

We respect the person
It starts with believing in people, seeing beyond their circumstances, being a champion for consistent support, and always being honest. We do what we say we will do, acting within boundaries as we respect and support the diversity of people’s voices, personal identity and choices.
We do things right
We never let being professional get in the way of our compassion. So, our approach is transparent, well-informed, and yet always personal. We take responsibility for our actions and are accountable to our high standards as well as those of others. This means that we can be relied on to deliver excellence, and go above and beyond what’s required to do what’s
really needed.
We create change
Diverse and open-minded, we always look for new, better ways to help and create the change we want to see in society. We’re approachable and welcome feedback, strengthening relationships as we consider people’s many perspectives. And we don’t wait for change but go towards it to respond to needs.
We come through together
United in our purpose, we overcome obstacles and courageously stride towards positive outcomes. Our resilience gives us confidence to adapt and persist. We don’t give up on people, each other, or on our shared goals, and progress together.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Causeway(UK) is committed to providing an environment free from bullying, harassment, and discrimination, eliminating unlawful discrimination and promoting equality and diversity in our policies, practices and procedures. We also strive to influence others to do the same in our dealings with staff, service users, and third parties. We believe that no one should experience prejudice or harassment and everybody deserves to have a voice. One of the key aims of our policy and approach is to ensure we provide a positive working environment in which all staff feel comfortable and where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. We actively want to encourage all our staff to bring their whole self to work and feel safe to do so.

At Causeway, we’re committed to providing our staff with the resources and support needed for their role. This takes the form of professional development and learning opportunities for all employees, but also in our dedication to maintaining and supporting the wellbeing of each individual that forms a part of our team. We know that by doing so, we are positioned to provide the very best care and support for some of society’s underrepresented and marginalised groups. We therefore train our employees on Cultural Competency, Equality Diversity and Inclusion, and Trauma Informed Practice, to help ensure that our staff are equipped to understand and empathise with individuals from all backgrounds and experiences.
