Our ValuesWe are committed to ensuring that all the work of CANS is underpinned by the following values:

---

• Diversity

  Appreciating the variety of human experience and culture and the importance of welcome, cultural sensitivity and language appropriateness in the provision of services to members of the BAME community; and the value of promoting social inclusion.

• Justice

  The fair and impartial treatment of all clients; respecting human rights, equality and dignity; and promoting the provision of effective and equitable services.

• Integrity

  Being trustworthy and honouring the trust placed in us; doing what we say we will do; communicating counsellor’s qualifications, experience and working methods accurately; and working ethically and with careful consideration of the law.

• Partnership

  Recognising that often much more can be achieved by working in partnership with others than working alone.

• Put clients first

  Making the wellbeing, capabilities, resilience and safety of clients our primary concern; showing each of them respect and valuing them as a unique person; protecting their confidentiality and privacy; and respecting their right to be self-governing and make their own decisions and choices.

• Professionalism

  Working to professional standards by: working within our competence; keeping our skills and knowledge up to date; collaborating with colleagues to maintain and improve the quality of what is being offered to clients; maintaining professional boundaries; and keeping accurate and appropriate records. We will also foster the self-resect, self-knowledge, self-care, wellbeing, resilience and integrity of our counsellors.
