Our WE ASPIRE values

Suffolk County Council's mission is to make a positive difference for Suffolk. We are committed to working together, striving to improve, and securing the best possible services.

Suffolk County Council has a set of values and behaviours that are shaped by staff and which set the expectation of how people will do their job in addition to the specific activities/accountabilities listed in the Job Person Profile. Evidence of these values and behaviours is an integral part of the performance management framework.
