They describe who we are and what we stand for as a council – they help shape our culture and encourage consistent behaviours.
What are our values at Derbyshire County Council?
Our values were co-developed with colleagues across the council to support the delivery of our Council Plan and they play an important role in our success as a council. We’ve produced a short video explaining what our values are and how they were developed.

Why are values important?
Values are a reflection of what we aspire to be, both as individuals and as an organisation.
Our values act as a compass and help guide our behaviours and decisions.
How do we live our values?
Living our values starts with each of us, every single day.
Everyone plays a part in bringing our values to life and embedding them into all that we do!
We’ll keep recognising and sharing the ways we see them in action.
Our values – deep dive
We will soon be launching monthly deep dives on each of our values, to help everyone understand what they are and how they influence the way we work.
