We aim to promote equality, choice, independence and personal development to improve quality of life for individuals.

Ambitious: Forward thinking, embracing new ways of working and investing in our future.
Open: Open to different ideas and being accountable for the decisions we take.
Together: Working together as a team that engages with our customers and partners, respects diversity and is committed to quality services.
Proud: Proud of the Vale of Glamorgan; proud to serve our communities and to be part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
