Safe and trauma informed
We use Signs of Safety to help us make decisions. It's a way of working that focuses on relationships and assesses risk to keep children safe and protected. We also prioritise helping staff to be trauma informed in their own practice.

Included and involved
We want to include children, young people and families throughout our services. This means creating ways for people to participate, including voice and adapting how we work. It's supported by our commitment to children's rights and getting it right for every child.

Working in partnership
We can achieve so much more when we work with others. It reflects our communities and how families live as well as helping us to plan our resources effectively to provide high quality services.
