How we operate

Our commitment to safe, ethical and professional practice

As a Community Interest Company, Creuynni has a legal and moral duty to operate in the interest of the public and the communities we serve. Our policies and procedures are the practical expression of the values we hold, not rules imposed from outside, but standards we choose and own.

Safeguarding

The safety and wellbeing of all people who engage with Creuynni, especially children, young people and vulnerable adults, is our highest priority. All practitioners are trained and committed to safeguarding best practice.

Confidentiality

All client information is handled in full compliance with GDPR. Data is collected only where necessary, stored securely and shared only with written consent or legal obligation. Clients have the right to access their data.

Equality & Inclusion

Every person is treated with fairness, dignity and respect, regardless of age, background, ability, identity, culture or any other characteristic. We are committed to accessible and genuinely inclusive wellbeing support.

Professionalism

Practitioners work only within their competencies, maintain professional boundaries and engage in continuous learning and supervision. Accurate representation of qualifications and services is a non-negotiable standard.

Practitioner Wellbeing

We recognise that practitioners can only support others well when they are supported themselves. Creuynni encourages and supports its practitioners to maintain their own wellbeing, engage in supervision and sustain a healthy balance.

Community Responsibility

As a CIC, Creuynni operates for the benefit of the public. Any surplus is reinvested into services and community programmes. Our governance is co-operative and transparent, with shared decision-making at its core.

Community Interest Company

Transparency & community values

Creuynni Wellbeing CIC is a registered Community Interest Company in Wales. This legal structure means we are required by law to operate in the interest of our community, not for private profit. Any surplus we generate is reinvested in our services, our practitioners and our community programmes.

Our governance is co-operative and guided by sociocratic principles: shared decision-making, consent-based processes and a commitment to ensuring every voice is heard. We believe that how we make decisions is as important as the decisions themselves.

We are committed to being honest, open and accountable to the communities we serve. If you would like to know more about our structure, our governance or our finances, please get in touch.

Annual Reporting

As a CIC, we are required to submit an annual Community Interest Report demonstrating our public benefit. This will be made available here as it is completed.

Co-operative Governance

Decisions within Creuynni are made collectively, with every practitioner member having an equal vote. We use sociocratic principles to ensure consent-based, inclusive governance.

Raising Concerns

If you have a concern about any aspect of our work, including the conduct of a practitioner, please contact us directly. All concerns are taken seriously and handled with confidentiality and care.
