How we work towards making children matter.
A world where all children grow up with the security and benefit of a safe and loving family home that supports their individual needs, enabling them to reach their full potential.
Children are the HEART of everything we do. We seek to build trusting relationships through providing a responsive, high-quality recruitment and assessment service and therapeutic support to our children and families that aims to have a transformative impact on children’s lives.
We will treat everyone fairly, be professional, respectful, honest and transparent in all our communications and accountable for all our decisions.
In our organisation everyone matters. We seek to create a safe environment for individuals to express themselves openly, challenge kindly, seeking to learn and develop within a culture of respect and acceptance.
We are ambitious for our children’s futures and will ensure that we listen to children and ensure their voice is heard in plans being made about them and will advocate that their needs are met to support them to fulfil their potential.
We will listen to and value the views and experiences of our children, families, staff and volunteers, ensuring equality of opportunity regardless of gender, race, religion, culture, heritage, age, disability or sexuality.
We will continually develop and improve our services together, through increasing engagement with our children, families, staff and external stakeholders, using their feedback to inform future developments.
