Vision

In Aotearoa New Zealand, childhood is valued and each child's hope and potential are nurtured.

Our Approach

We serve children and young people through recognising the importance of their families and whānau and offering integrated services, within Barnardos and in community partnerships. We do this by providing care, support, education and learning opportunities.
 

Our Values

We share a set of core values that define us as an organisation and the way we work.

• Integrity
  We demonstrate honesty, fairness, openness and clear boundaries, in all our interactions, behaviours and practices, within the organisation and with our clients, stakeholders and the wider community.
   
• Respect for others
  We acknowledge and respect differences in each other, and provide a safe, supportive environment where all individuals are valued and encouraged to engage in open two-way communication.
   
• Success
  We set the standard in service delivery, through a commitment to excellence, innovation, and to ongoing learning and continued improvement.
   
• Passion
  We stand up for what we believe in, and go the extra distance for children and families so that we can make a positive difference to our society.
