Our Habits 

In undertaking our work we exercise the following habits: 

Discovery

We promote innovative services and supports that can help move people living with disability into socially valued roles.

We seek to understand the things that improve or help people's life chances, and what this means in terms of policy and action. We do this through research and dialogue with people living with disability, their families and supporters.

Integrity

We apply a common, clear set of principles to every aspect of our work, so that our efforts are coherent, credible and sustainable.

Amplification

People’s voice is important, and the people best qualified to talk about the lived experience of disability are people living with disability.  By speaking up, people take leadership in their own lives.  We seek ways to support people to speak up, so that their views are more easily heard by the people who most need to listen.  We call this process amplification.

 

Our Commitment to the Safety of Children and Young People

We are a Child Safe Organisation that respects and promotes children’s rights and implements a zero-tolerance policy regarding child abuse or misconduct toward a child. When children and young people interact with our agency, we proactively ensure that we provide safe environments where they are protected, valued, included, encouraged, and heard.  

 

We have adopted and continue to monitor our compliance with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations. To report a concern about child safety at our organisation, make an enquiry about our policies and procedures, or to provide feedback to us, please contact (08) 8373 8388 or admin@purpleorange.org.au.
