Our culture and values

Our Values

As an organisation our values underpin the work we do and central to our support model. Our values are:

• We are consistent: As a long-term support provider, we want to be consistent in our approach to support and partnering with individuals
• We are Future Focussed: Together with our staff, volunteers and those we work with, we want to be mindful of the past and how it impacts the present, but we want to help people move forward by focusing on the future
• We promote empowerment: We work with individuals to redress the power imbalance that exploitation creates. We want to partner with those we work with to shape their own support, to develop resilience, and support the choices and decisions they make themselves.
• We focus on the individual: Valuing every individual and their uniqueness, we seek to understand, respect and embrace the backgrounds and experiences of every individual.
• We are flexible: We are constantly evolving, thinking creatively, seeing potential and embracing a flexible approach to all aspects of our work.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Rebuild East Midlands is dedicated to providing long-term support to survivors of modern slavery in a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment. We recognise the inherent worth and dignity of every individual and are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work.

The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and the individuals that we work with, and for each employee and volunteer to feel respected and able to give their best.  We aim to provide a culture where respect and understanding is fostered and the diversity of peoples’ backgrounds and experiences is positively valued.
