A Working Together protocol was developed in 2017 which resolved that the NRAH Committee will – in working together as a Committee and in our relationships with the wider community:
- endeavour to treat each person with respect, listen with care, and be open to different ideas
- work with honesty and integrity towards our common goals
- value diversity
- seek to be inclusive and collaborative in our decision-making
- communicate with care, try to avoid being defensive, and seek out mutually beneficial outcomes, especially when tensions and conflicts arise, as they inevitably will
- help and support each other so that we can each contribute fully to the work of the Committee and the Arts Hub.
