Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct is a statement of the values that we will uphold in all our dealings and that we will expect others to maintain when working with us.
At the Chilterns Neuro Centre, we believe that all individuals involved with the charity, or working on behalf of people affected by neurological conditions should respect one another and work constructively to achieve our common goal of being a beacon of excellence and a lifeline to everyone affected by MS, Parkinson’s and strokes.
We therefore expect Members, Carers, Trustees, Staff, Volunteers and Visitors and everyone connected with, or acting on behalf of, the Chilterns Neuro Centre to take personal responsibility for the following when visiting the Centre or representing the Charity:
- Upholding trust, honesty and transparency in all of our dealings
- Striving for excellence in everything we do and always giving of our best and acting professionally to ensure quality of service
- Ensuring that people are at the heart of everything we do, and being aware of the impact of our decisions on our people, and making sure that they come first
- Looking after each other and ourselves
- Being aware of and respectful of everyone’s need for privacy and dignity
- Acting with compassion and integrity at all times
- Respecting and understanding the need for confidentiality
