Guiding Principles The feedback we received from stakeholders about Act for Kids and our purpose provided a clear set of perspectives about us as an organisation that are guiding principles for how we work:
8
Impact-driven
Evidence-led
Trauma-informed
Holistic
We strive to create positive social outcomes in all we do
Research evidence underpins our services, strategies and actions
We acknowledge the impact of trauma on child and adult clients, staff, communities and partners and accommodate this in our work
The broader context for kids, families and our work is always considered in our actions
Strengths-based
Child-centred
Family-focussed
We look for strengths and positives and build on these as the best foundation for the future
Kids are at the centre of all we do – we act for kids
We acknowledge the importance of family to ensure great outcomes for kids
Connected to culture
Engaged with communities and partners
Being connected to culture is healing and vital for First Nations kids and families; and kids and families from diverse cultural backgrounds
No organisation creates social value on its own. The impact of our work is multiplied when it happens within relationships with communities, governments, corporates, philanthropists, not-for-profits, donors, ambassadors, universities, volunteers, staff, students and sometimes the general public.
