ACT’s statements of principles

ACT has developed these Statements of Principles with our Staff and Trustee teams and with the people who we work with on these issues.

Please do feedback any views or comments on these principles as they are live documents that can be updated.

Our core principles are:

We work with, not for people
We take a community development approach starting where people are and help them see and achieve what they want to do.
We are honest and realistic with people about their aspirations and the policy and practical contexts we know about
We aim to be honest brokers with and between various partners as needed
We collect feedback as we work and share that to inform policy and practise
We aim to help you achieve, rather than delivering for you.

Below are statements of principle in key areas of our work.
