- Build and nurture trusted relationships with children and families.
- Be consistent and do what we say we will do.
- Ensure that when formal intervention is required, we manage it at the lowest possible level.
- Support our workforce and challenge them to deliver a great service.
- Encourage our families and communities to be aspirational for themselves and each other.
- Respect difference in families and communities and ensure we are inclusive.
- Be transparent and objective in our decision making.
- Learn from what works and what does not work and keep developing our services to build on the things that deliver the right outcomes.
