Beliefs
and Values
Our services are child centered and
family focused
We are committed to meeting the needs of
the people that we serve. Effective decision making
that balances autonomy, individual empowerment, and personal
accountability is encouraged.
Respect and compassion are the hallmarks
of our work
We commit to a safe, nurturing
atmosphere in all we do. Our aim is to foster the growth of
children and families and this requires a full measure of
both respect and compassion.
We commit to the long term healthy
development of children
Children who have experienced abuse and
neglect can develop into healthy adults. They are fully
capable of participating in a life with the same
opportunities, privileges and responsibilities as others in
the community. We are committed to supporting the
development of individuals through their lifespan.
We believe family members are an integral
part of our clients' lives
Our first choice is always to support
the successful reintegration of a child into his/her
family's life. If this is not possible, we commit to finding
alternative family settings with the goal of permanency of
each child.
We commit to employing best practices in
our work
It is our responsibility to seek out,
and integrate best practices into our provision of services.
We value innovation and creativity, and we reward our staff
for demonstrating excellence in our field.
We will practice Continuous Quality
Improvement
We are committed to review and evaluate
our work. We recognize that the success of our organization
is dependent on our willingness to look objectively at what
we do, and to make the changes necessary to improve
practice. We accept the challenge to learn from our efforts.
We value a quality and reliable workforce
to fulfill our mission
We recognize that reliability and
continuity in the lives of the people we serve are critical
to their success. We reaffirm and strengthen our commitment
to develop and maintain competent, caring and dedicated
staff.
Our employees are the cornerstone of our
agency
We recognize the importance of our staff
and the contributions they make in the lives of our children
and families. We are committed to offering education,
