Our values in delivering our vision and mission

Supportive & positive

We believe that collectively we can support the best responses to vulnerability within policing nationally. We care about what we do.

Professional

We are a multi-disciplinary team with a range of expertise and experience. We continue to keep our knowledge and skills up to date through continuous professional development.

Integrity

We adhere to strong ethical and moral principles, values and demonstrate a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion throughout our work. We are bold and reflective in our thinking and actions. 

Respect

Not only do we respect one another within the team, we respect and value the contributions of our internal policing partners as well as those from sectors, practitioners and academia’s outside of policing, including experts by experience.

Impartial

We acknowledge that bias exists but together we are open to learning and challenging our thinking.

Transparent

Our work is evidence-based and we seek internal and external feedback on our products and activities.
