Our Values

Care

Our Care for children and their families is demonstrated in how we listen, and how we act, how we strive for increased inclusivity, and how we work as a team.

Integrity

The Integrity of our organisation is demonstrated through how we share our learning, how we report to our stakeholders and how we maintain high quality standards.

Creativity

Creativity drives every aspect of how we work with children and with each other. We demonstrate this through our training, our processes and our championing of the child’s voice.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

Putting all children at the heart of what we do

We believe that every child is inherently creative. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy underpins all of our work. We are committed to providing safe, positive and inclusive environments for all. We support all children and young people living with lifelong health conditions – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in accessing creative encounters and improving their wellbeing.
