Our Values

Dudley Lodge hold values that are deeply held beliefs that govern and guide our behaviour in dealing with each other; our professional colleagues, clients and suppliers, and in achieving our corporate objectives.

We believe that:

  • All children have the right to have their safety and welfare needs met.
  • All adults have a responsibility to respond to concerns, worries and doubts regarding the safety and wellbeing of children wherever they may be.
  • It is people who make the difference in any enterprise and to give of their best they must be treated with dignity and respect.

These set of values form part of our Standards and Behaviours that all staff working at both centres endeavour to meet.
