The Code
In everything we do, we are guided by a set of principles and values which define how we work, with whom and why. We believe that this is where our core strength lies: knowing what we stand for and why. These principles form the Code (developed at CRIN) which helps us to do our day to day work, knowing it contributes to our long term vision for a rights respecting world for all.
Part I – We have a mission
We are Earth’s custodians, not its owners
Rights, not charity
Children’s rights, human rights
Justice, not compromise
Accountability, not apology
Diversity, not homogeny
Part II – We have an attitude
Principles, not pragmatism
Critical thinking, not compliance
Feminism, not patriarchy
Part III – We have the means
Advocate in language, not words
Don’t grow; network
Stronger together, not apart
Be open, not proprietary
Act ethically, don’t just talk about it
Safeguarding children, not our organisation.
