Key principles

This work is guided by the following principles:

• Outcomes and transformation, not just modifying services
• Engagement: engaging early with people in agreeing, designing and delivering outcomes
• Addressing the fundamental question: why do we do what we do?
• Having a strategic whole county view, not just the Council
• Innovation: being open minded and seeking innovative solutions, using all the expertise available
• Using evidence - if we aren't getting results, we should change
• A continual process to meet existing and long-term needs sustainably
• Delivering outcomes at lower or no cost
• Embracing digital technology to help us connect better with you and provide accessible, easy to use online and assisted services that put your needs first. 
• We will help promote the creation of strong communities, that support each other locally.
