Why principles are important
These 6 principles form part of our culture and ways of working.
They guide and shape our approach, and we use them to robustly evaluate the decisions we make.
Where we deviate from these principles there must be justification, discussion and consensus.
Conversely these principles are a living document, and they are open to challenge, criticism and contribution.
