The Role of Core Values at Footprints
Posted 22 October 2024
In the era of technological development, innovation and increased market competition, industries are ever changing. We have seen the increased need for digitalisation in fostering where, what used to be done on paper is now all electronical helping our carers have instantaneous responses and up to date case notes.
While moving forward can seem rapid, it is important not to forget the most simple, basic but crucial aspects of an organisation – that is its core values.
We have a set of core beliefs that we as an organisation take pride in; from the time of starting the agency just over ten years ago to today. We believe that people are the heart of our organisation, and as our most important asset we invest, support and guide from all angles, this is reflected in the defined six core values:
Excellence: As a small agency we strive to achieve excellence in all areas of foster care, through high quality training and extensive support
Loyalty: Allowing all to flourish with a strong support network
Care: Every child matters, we strive to support carers in meeting young peoples potential
Respect Difference: We are all products of our own individuality and up bringing; the world would be a dull place if we were all the same
Trust: Building trustworthy honest relationships is the foundation of the Footprints culture, striving to achieve exactly what we say
Confidentiality: Maintaining the highest level of confidence for carers, social workers and children, treating all information respectfully.
Together, we stick by our motto of ‘taking steps towards a brighter future’ and we are sure that you can achieve this too when joining Footprints.
