ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES

• Children should feel safe and protected wherever they live.
• Children deserve to be treated with respect and have their opinions validated.
• Children in our communities are everyone’s responsibility.
• Our society has developed and implements systems to remove children, who are victims of abuse or neglect, from their parents to ensure their safety and well-being. Therefore, as a society, we must be responsible. As a society, we must not only expect the system to care for these children but rather we must hold each other responsible, making sure that these same children’s safety, welfare, and dignity are upheld in the process.
• CASA is the organization designated to educate the community and be a spokesperson on issues of child maltreatment, always keeping the welfare of the child the priority.
