Our Corporate Values
Values may be defined as things you believe in and which help to define the way you live. Individual CCEA staff have personal values that are individual to them, their family or the community to which they belong. We encourage these personal values. We do, however, have corporate values and expect staff to ‘live’ our corporate values as we go about their daily business in CCEA. CCEA has six corporate values in the following areas:
Integrity
CCEA will ensure staff are open and honest, tell the truth, play by the rules, not knowingly do anything wrong and do not allow themselves to be influenced to do otherwise.
Quality and Excellence
CCEA will endeavour to ensure staff deliver the very best products and services to customers, partners and stakeholders and seek ways to continuously improve.
Social Responsibility
CCEA will go beyond its statutory remit in respect of investment in its own staff and the contribution it makes to the community.
Leadership
CCEA will demonstrate exemplary leadership including leading the community debate on educational policy and promoting, through example, the seven principles of public life as set out by the Nolan Committee.
People
CCEA will treat all its people with respect; will recruit, reward and promote staff on the basis of merit; will provide good working conditions; and will help its staff to achieve a work/life balance
Customers, Partners and Stakeholders
CCEA will meet the needs and expectations of its customers, keep its promises, secure full customer trust and will put things right when they go wrong.
