We act with PURPOSE and RESPECT
We practice active inclusion and allyship. We communicate with kindness and assume good intent. We create a safe space for open dialogue, listen to understand, and create a workplace where staff feel they belong.
Our values
What we stand for
Our values shape how we work, how we treat each other and how we serve the people of Hackney.
How we work
Values that guide everything we do
At Hackney Council, our values are not just words on a wall. They reflect how we show up every day — for our colleagues, for our residents and for the communities we serve.
Our values
The values we live by
We take OWNERSHIP of our shared actions
We take personal ownership of our work and behaviour. We are proactive collaborators who are solution-focused and willing to learn. We are dedicated to service and address poor performance and toxic behaviour directly and effectively.
We lead with UNITY and celebrate DIVERSITY
We lead by example, are transparent and honest, and apply all policies fairly and consistently. We work together as one Council, breaking down silos, and demonstrate anti-racist behaviour in everything we do.
