Accountability
Answering to the children, youth and families we serve, to the community and to governments, for our decisions, actions and outcomes.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Promoting inclusion and equity in all that we do by eliminating systemic racism and discrimination, and addressing over-representation of marginalized and racialized populations in child welfare.
