Our values, beliefs and cultures

We are committed to working in partnership with children and their families. Our belief is that children are best looked after within their own families and within their local communities. Only when such support is not able to meet the child's needs will we provide further services.

Our values are rooted in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, specifically:

Article 2: Requires that no child is discriminated against. The Article mentions grounds such as disability, race, colour, sex, religion, national, ethnic or social origins, birth, property or other status.

Article 3: Requires that the welfare of the child is a primary consideration when decisions concerning a child are being made.

Article 12: States that children must be consulted on all matters of concern to them and that their views must be given due weight in accordance with maturity.

We further wish to promote the values contained within the National Assembly of Young People in Care Charter.
