SignHealth Values
We are proud to be the deaf health charity, a deaf-led organisation that breaks down barriers every single day.
All SignHealth teams contributed to our values project which was coordinated by New Ways. The aim was to understand the values already held by our staff and shown in our work.
These five values are now a commitment to ourselves and to each other and reflected in our organisation culture. The values describe how we want to work within our teams and with partners, how we deliver our services and how we can grow together to end inequalities for deaf people.
As a client, resident, partner, fundraiser or supporter, have you noticed these values at SignHealth? We want your feedback, it can help us learn. Email info@signhealth.org.uk to share your thoughts.
