D.A.I.S.Y Values

The DAISY values are a promise about how Social Daisies will work with people: with dignity, curiosity, honesty, reliability and respect for their independence.

If someone’s letting you into a difficult part of their life, they should be treated with respect, listened to properly, and given a real say in what happens next. They shouldn’t feel judged, talked over, or like someone else suddenly knows their life better than they do.

Nothing fancy. Just the kind of support I’d want someone I care about to receive.

D — Dignity and respect first.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, privacy and without judgement. Support should feel safe, never shaming.

A — Ask, don’t assume.

You know your life better than I do. I’ll ask, listen and work with you rather than deciding what you need.

I — Independence matters.

Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone. It means building confidence, skills and choice so you can have more control over your life and the support around you.

S — Show up properly.

Be reliable, present and honest. Work safely, know your limits, and speak up when something is outside your scope or needs additional support.

Y — You lead.

It’s your life. You make the decisions. I’ll give you clear information, help you understand your options and risks, and work beside you in a way that respects your choices.
