<p><strong>Compassion</strong>&nbsp;– We bring empathy and kindness to all we do, to better understand and meet the needs of children and young people, colleagues and other stakeholders.</p>
<p><strong>Integrity</strong>&nbsp;– We demonstrate sound ethical values in all our work, and we are honest, transparent, courageous and authentic.</p>
