There is a common vision and sense of belonging by all communities.
The diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and valued.
Similar life opportunities are available to all.
Strong and positive relationships exist and continue to be developed in children and young people’s services, schools, the workplace and in the wider community.
