Our aims and values
At Home-Start Aberdeen, our mission is to be there for families when they need us, for as long as they need us. To achieve this, we follow a series of key aims and values which underpin and guide our work.
These apply to our support for families, our interations with volunteers, our partnerships and engagements with members of the public. These aims and values apply to all of Home-Start Aberdeen’s trustees, management, staff, consultants and volunteers. Each are made aware of these aims and values on induction and through annual refreshers.
Our aims:
- That children will experience a nurturing and stimulating family environment.
- That children will have good physical and mental health and wellbeing.
- That parents will have the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to support their families.
- That families will be resilient and able to cope with challenges.
- The safeguarding and protection of children and their parents and families.
Our values:
- Equality, fairness and inclusivity.
- Honesty and integrity.
- Respect and partnership.
- Responsiveness.
- Openness and transparency.
- Child at the centre.
