We believe that children should be given the opportunity to develop a sense of self worth so that they will have the confidence to learn and achieve. |
 |
Children have the right to be cared for, loved and respected, so that they in turn will care for, love and respect others. |
 |
Good relationships are the bedrock of happiness. |
 |
Parents, teachers and members of local communities should be empowered to contribute to children’s development. |
 |
Children should be empowered to maximise their potential through the removal of barriers to learning. |
 |
Adults who find themselves disadvantaged should be empowered to overcome that disadvantage. |
 |
Communities that develop a caring environment lessens the need for state intervention. |
