Our Values
Reflecting those published nationally, our core values are -

- We value our people
- We value innovation, change and learning
- We value the Council of the Isles of Scilly
Our Aim:
To have a set of core values, that positively influences what we do.
Benefits
Equality and diversity are no longer words that are merely fashionable, but central issues fundamental to our success in making communities safer. Attracting the best people from the community we serve will enable us to understand community needs and deliver the best possible service.
Harnessing the uniqueness of these individuals will create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued and respected.
One of the key components of an equality and diversity strategy remains the need to be a fair and equitable employer which puts people at the heart of what we do. Organisations must ensure that internal policies, procedures and processes reflect the requirements of the law.
There is a strong alignment between equality and diversity and corporate social responsibility. This undoubtedly enhances the attractiveness of our organisation both as an employer and service provider.
