Home / Who We are
What we are about
We work at the cutting edge of diversity,equity, inclusion, equality and social justice in evaluation and continuous quality improvement.
We are a values driven organisation with clear value commitments that bring minority voices to engagement, decision-making, review, service improvement, policy design and evaluation processes. We reject the notion that evaluations, reviews and strategies must be objective and culture free and we reject a deficit approach that positions communities or their members as problems. Instead, we seek to identify and respect local strengths and resilience.What we are about

Equity
Equity recognizes people who have been historically marginalised have different circumstances and needs, and therefore need different resources and opportunities allocated to them in order to thrive.
Equality
Equality is giving everyone the exact same resources across the board, regardless of individuals’ or groups of people’s actual needs or opportunities/resources already provided to them.
