We would like the
people who work for Children and Family Health Devon to be understanding,
patient and respectful. They should be trustworthy and make us feel safe and
comfortable. It is important that they use their skills and experience to
listen carefully in a non-patronising and non-judgemental way. When staff are
positive and friendly, they help to create an environment that is informal and
without pressure.
