| The following values form the fundamental basis of how we deal with people, organisations and communities: |
| Respectful -
| We will treat people with respect and recognise their right to be shown dignity. Our behaviour toward others will be based on how we would want others to behave toward us. |
| Accountable - |
We recognise and respect that our actions and decisions should be capable of justification to our stakeholders. |
| Inclusive -
| We aim to ensure that our range of services are accessible and made available in a relevant way to all communities in the areas where we operate. |
| Enabling -
| We aim to empower people to increase or develop their range of skills, knowledge and abilities and to use these to maximum advantage within the community. |
| Efficient -
|
We recognise that we are custodians of community resources and aim to operate in a way that makes best use of those resources for the benefit of the communities we serve. |
| Open -
|
We aim to be as informative as possible to customers, staff and stakeholders so long as business and personal confidentiality is not breached. |
| Fair -
|
We aim to provide our services in a manner that is seen to be fair and can be justified according to published policy or procedure. We will not discriminate on grounds of race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability. |
