We want Hertfordshire to continue to be a county where people have the opportunity to live healthy, fulfilling lives in thriving, prosperous communities.
We’ll address divides in living standards by delivering outstanding service, informed by ongoing consultation and engagement with our citizens and communities. Our commitment to proactive social care will allow us to protect our children and young people through early intervention, giving them the chance to thrive and grow.
Every decision we make is informed by our RISE values, developed in collaboration with colleagues across HCC:
We improve Residents’ lives: we put our residents at the heart of all we do
We work with Integrity: we say what we do, and we do what we say
We act Sustainably: we consider the impact of our actions on future generations
We champion Equality and fairness: we’re all equal and we treat everyone fairly.
The wellbeing of our children and young people is essential to their future opportunities and achievements. Each and every young person deserves the opportunity to grow and prosper. We prioritise early interventions in social care to support children and families before crisis point.
We believe in our Social Workers. We’ll support you in achieving your full professional potential through apprenticeships secondments, as well as ensuring personal wellbeing through free counselling, flexible working and travel support. You have the ability to make a difference to the lives of young people. We’ll give you the space to achieve.
