We are committed to providing a high standard of service to all of our customers and stakeholders. We have strengthened our relationship and communication with stakeholders through a series of regular national meetings and regional events. This increased dialogue with our stakeholders reflects the value that we place on customer feedback. In seeking to achieve excellence we will endeavour to deliver a modern service that meets the needs of all our customers, recognising diversity in the community and treating everyone we come into contact with in the course of our daily business with dignity and respect. We strive to continually develop and provide best value in the delivery of our services. We will monitor our performance against various standards in order to identify areas for further improvement.
