PHILOSOPHY:

The Philosophy of the organisation is based upon the following concepts that will guide decision-making in the development of services and their delivery.

A: SOCIAL ROLE VALORISATION

The committee members of the organisation know, and act on the belief that every person in our society has the right to a quality lifestyle.

We believe that the best way to ensure recognition of these rights for people with disabilities, is to operate upon the principles of ‘Social Role Valorisation’. ‘SRV’ (as this theory is called for short) works towards creating or maintaining socially valued roles for all people.

B: LEAST RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVE

Meeting individual need and facilitating individual growth and development in ways that least restrict personal freedom.

C: DIGNITY OF RISK

Every person has the opportunity to be exposed to normal risk situations, in all aspects of his/her level of skills.

D: HOLISTIC APPROACH TO THE INDIVIDUAL

 Recognising the person as a Social, Emotional, Sexual, Spiritual person.

E: QUALITY SERVICE

 Excellence, and continuation of improvement

F: RESPECT FOR THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND WORTH OF THE INDIVIDUAL

G: COMMUNITY INCLUSION

 Involving people with a disability in all aspects of mainstream community life.

H: RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Recognise the rights and responsibilities of the individual, family members, the household, the community and employees.

I: FLEXIBLE AND RESPONSIVE TO FAMILY REQUIREMENTS
