Our work is child-centred, trauma informed and guided by the meaningful and ethical participation of the young people we support.

Rights based: we respect and promote human rights focusing on every child’s fundamental human right to be protected from harm, to have access to the provision of services and support they need to enjoy fully their rights and freedoms and to participate in all decisions affecting them, as outlined in national legislation and the international legal framework.

Child centred: we elevate children’s interests, rights, and views in all of our work and consider the impact of decisions and processes on children and young people, promoting their best interests and wellbeing and working with them to seek and promote change

Trauma informed: we recognise the likelihood and impact of trauma in most people’s lives as well as the specific needs of child victims of abuse and aim to create environments that promote Safety, Collaboration, Empowerment, Trust, Choice
