VALUES:
Our values lie behind everything we do. They should be reflected in all our communications. The Streets Ahead Children’s Centre Association is:
CHILD-FOCUSED: as an organization for street-living and street-working children, we try to respond to their needs and desires as dynamically & creatively as possible
AMBITIOUS BUT PRACTICAL: we set our sights high – for the children, not for ourselves – but we accept that our main responsibility is a practical one. We concentrate on making a real difference to these children’s lives.
OPEN: we work without prejudice of any kind. We learn from our experiences, both our successes and failures. We are proud of what we do, and we communicate our work clearly and honestly.
COLLABORATIVE: we seek to work with others whenever we can, in order to achieve more for the street-living and street-working children.
ACCOUNTABLE: we are responsible to those we exist to serve: street-living and street-working children, their families and communities, as well as those who support our work. Professionally and financially, we are sound, scrupulous, efficient and effective.
A TEAM: we value diversity in those who work for the Streets Ahead Children’s Centre Association. We have to balance many expectations, but we support each other and never lose sight of our shared purpose.
