Cardiff Council Values
Accountability
We accept full responsibility for our actions, decisions and behaviours and we expect others to do the same.
Diversity
We celebrate and recognise cultural diversity in the way we deliver our services respecting individuals and ensuring equality of access and opportunity to all.
Flexibility
We adapt to meet our customers’ and other stakeholders’ changing needs, and constantly seek to improve by responding positively to change, learning from experience and looking for new ideas.
Openness
We are transparent and inclusive in the planning and delivery of our services. We listen to our stakeholders and encourage them to review information, decisions and processes, welcoming their feedback.
Professional integrity
We take pride in delivering high quality services efficiently and cost effectively. We work hard to correct shortcomings and invest continually in staff and member development.
Respect
We welcome differing views and recognise everyone’s right to their own opinions. We value and acknowledge all contributions to our success.
Working with others - We build co-operative, reciprocal, sustainable relationships with all our partners and other stakeholders. We aim to promote and develop a culture of partnership and multi-agency working.
The Local Government Association (LGA) is the national voice of local government. We work with councils to support, promote and improve local government.
We are a politically-led, cross-party organisation that works on behalf of councils to ensure local government has a strong, credible voice with national government. We aim to influence and set the political agenda on the issues that matter to councils so they are able to deliver local solutions to national problems.
We are a membership organisation. Our core membership comprises 331 of the 333 councils in England and includes district, county, metropolitan and unitary authorities along with London boroughs and the City of London Corporation. The 22 Welsh unitary councils are in membership via the Welsh Local Government Association.
We also operate an Associate scheme for organisations whose purpose and objectives are aligned with our own. Our Associates include fire and rescue authorities, police, fire and crime commissioners/police and crime commissioners, national park authorities and town and parish councils via the National Association of Local Councils (NALC)’s corporate associate membership.
