This episode focused on Integrity, another core value of The Golden Thread Alliance, with insights from featuring James Kendall (Director of Education) and Sue Kirby (Executive Assistant to the CEO). 

Both speakers share how integrity means doing the right thing, being honest, staying true to your principles, and making the right decisions even when no one is watching. They talked about how this guides daily decisions and interactions, helping staff work together with openness, fairness, and respect. Whether in leadership or the classroom, integrity is something that’s shown through actions, not just words.

James highlights that the organisation's values are fundamental pillars that guide decisions affecting 700 employees, ensuring choices are made with respect and integrity. Sue notes that the values are consistently "woven into everything" and that the organisation truly delivers on its promised culture.

The discussion wrapped up with the speakers underscoring The Golden Thread Alliance's commitment to a values-led approach, where integrity is not just a concept that’s taught but a lived practice that defines the organisation's culture and interactions.
