The following values underpin everything we do:
Putting the people of Devon first
We are here to achieve the best for the people of Devon and identifying and addressing their needs is at the heart of everything we do. In working with people we aim to listen; to be fair, open and honest; and to do what we say we will do.
One of Devon’s strengths is its diverse people and communities. We will celebrate and harness this diversity by demonstrating respect, understanding and fairness. We want Devon to be a county for everyone and we are committed to tackling discrimination and exclusion, promoting social justice and good community relations and ensuring fair access to our services.
We want to be a modern and improving local authority providing efficient, cost effective services in touch with people’s needs. This means grasping opportunities for change and being innovative in finding the best solutions for the present and the future.
We need to work in close partnership with local communities and organisations to achieve our vision for Devon. Effective partnership working means building trust, developing a common understanding of the needs of our communities, agreeing joint priorities, taking collective action and pooling our resources where this will improve services.
We expect all our members and staff to behave in ways that reflect these values.
