- Strive to work ethically and do no harm.
- Demonstrate respect and confidentiality – the client is in charge.
- Be gender aware – strive to understand and respond to the gendered implications of all our work.
- Be culturally aware – work hard to understand and respond to the cultural context in which we work.
- Be environmentally aware – search for opportunities to work positively for the environment and minimise our negative environmental impacts.
- Contribute – try to make a positive difference. Only get involved if there is evidence that we can help.
- Volunteer– identify groups that cannot afford to pay. Do some work for free where there is a need.
- Be cheerful and optimistic – embrace fun.
- Be humble and positive – start from what is already there. Identify and build from people’s strengths, and what people already bring.
