Principle Values

1. We believe in Equity
This is about ensuring that all sections of society have equal opportunities to participate in economic, political and social life through redressing inequalities arising from people’s/society’s choices.

2. We believe in Diversity
This is about acknowledging how our differences as individual human beings and as members of groups can improve and enhance the quality of our lives.

3. We believe in Interdependence
This is about recognising that we are shaped by our relationships, and that our potential as human beings and as a society is dependent on the quality of our relationships with one another.

4. We believe in challenging bias
This is about saying or doing something to draw attention to, challenge or change inequality of opportunity and/or status that may lead or contribute to discrimination, exclusion or violence. As such, bias in all its forms should be actively challenged and resisted

5. We believe in the right of every human to learn and grow. This is the right and ability of every human. It may involve the acquiring of new or modifying of existing knowledge, behaviours, skills, values and preferences
