Our Values

Respect

All Consortium members are committed to the promotion of human rights and equality with reference to age, disability, sex, race, religion andbelief, sexual orientation and gender identity. We will embrace diversity, promote equity and challenge discrimination. We will treat each other fairly and appropriately, with kindness and respect, valuing each person’s and each organisation’s individual experience, perspectives and contribution.

Collaboration

We will work together as a team, in a way that is mutually supportive and inclusive. We will seek out and listen to different perspectives, openly share information with colleagues, and avoid working in isolation or silos.

Excellence

We will strive to work to the highest possible standard to achieve the maximum possible impact. Because we are committed to objectivity, we will utilise the best available evidence to inform our ideas, practices and behaviours and we will change these when appropriate. We will treat the agreed project deliverables as the minimum required.

Integrity

We will act in a way that is ethical, transparent and honest. We will declare and resolve any possible conflicts of interest and we will not act, or take decisions, in a way to gain financial or other material benefits for ourselves, families or friends.

Innovation

We will aspire to be open-minded, creative, visionary and, where necessary, courageous in pursuit of the best possible solutions to the problems our project is addressing.
