Our Values
Vision, Mission, Values, Philosophies
What’s new is the introduction of a BHAG, something which we can all work towards as a collective. The aim of a BHAG is to ensure the agency is in a strong position to support us in our work, so we can bring our best to those we serve. What is also new are the 5 values which have been defined to guide our actions, behaviours and decision-making going forward. What’s great about these values is that they match the ‘heart’ of what and how we do our work.
