Our Four Key Principles

People

We put people first, within and outside the network, and want to be an outstanding employer and a champion of equity, inclusion and rights. We are enablers and facilitators of others, bringing people together.

PARTNERSHIP

We are better when we work with others, and we know that collaboration makes children and young people’s lives better. We do it and champion it in all we do. We provide space and platforms for others, not ourselves.

PLACE

We focus on local and put local first. We are a network of local partnerships, not a national infrastructure charity, driven by the needs and ambitions of our members and in turn their members and children and young people locally.

PRACTICE

We focus on good practice and quality which impacts on children and young people’s lives. We support quality standards and are ambitious in how good we need to be, and how good our members need to be.

We help local partnerships collaborate more effectively, use evidence to drive decisions, and connect with national opportunities that strengthen the offer for young people.
