A lifetime of opportunities for everyone - our cross-cutting themes

We have identified four cross-cutting themes that will inform our work to deliver transformation in the borough, and help us make the right decisions.

A modern council

Our values: be bold, make a difference, show you care.

To deliver on our values:

• we take responsibility
• we are open, honest and respectful
• we listen and learn
• we work together to find solutions

Climate action

We will work with our staff, suppliers, residents, businesses, schools, statutory partners and government to become a carbon neutral organisation by 2030, and create a carbon neutral borough by 2040. You can view our dedicated climate action page.

Fairer Enfield

A Fairer Enfield is one where all residents, service users and council staff are supported to fulfil their potential, are treated with respect and are actively involved in shaping the decisions that will affect their workplace and wider community. You can view our current Equal Opportunities Policy (PDF).

Early help

When problems are identified early on, it's much easier to solve them, residents have better outcomes and the cost to public services is less. This is why we are joining up services across the council and with our partners to deliver a range of coordinated early help services.
