We provide safe homes and services for vulnerable adults in England and Wales Westmoreland is a not-for-profit charitable Community Benefit Society that provides supported living accommodation in England and Wales to meet the individual and unique needs of adults with learning disability, mental ill-health, acquired brain injury, physical or sensory disability, diagnosed long term conditions such as dementia or who may, for a multitude of reasons, require care and support. We partner with local and national commissioning authorities to source and manage quality homes, adapted to meet a range of often complex needs. We work closely with a range of care provider organisations providing the long-term care, with the joint aim of enabling our customers to thrive in their own homes and to live as independently as possible over the long term.
We are honest and transparent with ourselves, our colleagues, our beneficiaries, partners and other stakeholders. We choose to act with a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles
We consider that we have an obligation to our beneficiaries to act in their best interests at all times. We make decisions and complete activities for the benefit of our beneficiaries before any other stakeholders. We hold ourselves and each other responsible for our decisions, actions, or lack of actions. We continuously apply and seek to improve our technical and professional skill sets to maximise the benefits and value for money we can deliver.
We challenge ourselves to introduce new ideas or technologies to provide better ways of delivering a service that benefits our service users. We operate in a sector that requires broad-based improvement to improve value for money and customer outcomes; we actively seek to contribute to development of the sector overall.
We share knowledge, information and work together within and across organisational boundaries to deliver improved outcomes for our beneficiaries and to develop a stronger, more united voice.
We have respect of the individual and aim to provide equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalised. All of our interactions are undertaken with due regard for the dignity, feelings, wishes, or rights of others irrespective of age, disability, gender, racial origin, religion, belief, sexual orientation, language, perspectives or opinions.
We use our interest in and empathy with those around us, our beneficiaries and other stakeholders to improve or understanding and learn better ways of meeting changing needs. We always seek to do better.
