"Knowing when to push, when to let go, what to listen to, and what to ignore – all these skills are based on the profound respect for human dignity and working to restore a sense of who we are and what we want to be."
Empowerment
We develop empowering relationships enabling everyone to realise their potential. We are courageous and honest in our approach, committed to children’s rights and participation.
Curiosity
We are curious and questioning, we believe continuous learning and growth are fundamental to our wellbeing. We use theory and evidence to continuously inform and improve how we do things. We listen deeply and reflect together on our practice so we can make changes that enable everyone to thrive.
Excellence
We strive for excellence in everything we do. We role model our values. Our integrity and sense of responsibility guides our decisions and actions in pursuit of excellence.
Respect
We are compassionate with others and ourselves, through empathy we aim to be understanding. We treat people with dignity and respect.
Play
We play and have fun, we are generous and welcoming of people who want to join in, collaborate and share with us. We use creative methods and shared activities to connect and explore.
Difference
We respect every individual human being and value the differences between us as strengths, giving us a richer understanding of the world and one another. Our approach is rooted in a commitment to equality and human rights, we believe it’s good to be different and being different is what we have in common.
We are always looking for organisations and people to collaborate with to help improve the system for children in care
