Invictus are committed to meeting our statutory and ethical obligations as an organisation working with children and young people. However, we also aim to emulate our core values whilst managing any safeguarding concern, allegation or disclosure that may occur whilst we are working with a child or family.

 

Our core values are:

 

- Integrity

- Innovation

- Collaboration

- Compassion

 

We therefore expect all members of staff, volunteers and anyone representing the organisation to:

 

Learn with and from each other - To work collaboratively and respectfully with staff, volunteers, parents/carers, young people and external agencies: putting the best interests of the young person at the forefront of any decision making process.

​​

Share the same goals  - To understand and reflect the needs of the young person/family and use this understanding to plan and implement goals and actions in partnership with other agencies and the young person/family.

 

Feel equipped to support young people and families - To continually develop our training, support and resources for staff, volunteers and representatives to ensure they have the appropriate skills, resources and knowledge to effectively support a young person/family.

 

Acknowledge and appreciate differences - To work compassionately with young people/families; aiming to understand their perspectives and challenges, to work towards positive outcomes whilst respecting individual differences.-

 

Challenge each other - To implement a culture of always putting the young person/family first and challenging our colleagues, external partners and families when we believe these principles are not being met or a young person/families voice is not being heard.
