Our culture and values
Values
Courageous | Honest | Open | Inclusive | Collaborative | Empowering |
Our values ensure everyone has a CHOICE.
Courageous
We challenge attitudes, perceptions and ways of working to ensure that people with a learning disability and their families are treated with dignity and respect. We have a positive approach to risk and push the boundaries of what has been achieved before.
Honest
We are trustworthy and conduct our affairs with transparency.
Open
We have open hearts, open minds and open doors. We do not judge or discriminate.
Inclusive
We appreciate diversity and recognise everyone’s right to mutual respect and acceptance. We remove barriers to ensure equal access and opportunity and support people to make a full contribution to the community in their own unique way.
Collaborative
We listen to, and work alongside, individuals and organisations to achieve maximum impact. Our approach is non-competitive; we share good practice, expertise and resources for the wider benefit of local people with a learning disability and their families.
Empowering.
We equip people with the information and tools they need to succeed. We promote independence, encourage resilience and foster aspiration. We inspire people to reach their true potential, whatever that may be.
