Our Vision and One Coventry Values
- Children are at the heart of everything we do
- Working with children and families and services around them
- High quality child-centred effective services that are reflective and responsive to change
- Our One Coventry approach
- Committed sustainable workforce
The One Coventry vision is threaded throughout the Children’s Services vision and sets the tone for the work in Children’s Services. This encompasses the core priorities of the work undertaken across children’s services with a focus on children and families, our workforce, practice and partnership. The focus on restorative and relationship-based working has supported a recent culture shift in the way that we work with children and families, and with each other. This is a key part of the Coventry Family Valued programme. This shift to working with rather than doing to or for aligns with each pillar of the Children’s Services vision to ensure the best outcomes for children, young people and their families.
One Coventry is the narrative that sits behind the Council’s objectives, key strategies and approaches. Our One Coventry Values have been agreed with employees from across the Council and launched to reflect how we do things now and will continue to do in the future, working together to improve citizens' lives and the city. This is a key part of the Coventry Family Valued programme.
These values influence and shape the value base underpinning the Coventry Family Valued programme.
A One Coventry approach will enable us all to:
- Be open and fair
- Nurture and develop
- Engage and empower
- Create and innovate
- Own and be accountable
- Value and respect
