Our Values
At SOS Education, we aim to provide a high-quality service based on the following values:
We always follow our moral and ethical convictions for the best interests of our clients. We are committed to exceeding the ethical guidelines of our professional bodies and the POPIA.
We respect the traditional ways of supporting learners in the education system but pride ourselves in finding new solutions to ongoing issues. We are not scared to challenge the status quo for the good of the families with whom we work.
We are relentless in our mission to ensure that each child has access to the services and supports available to them as per the South African Schools Act and Education White Paper 6.
We will communicate clearly and with honesty to ensure that all stakeholders have access to the same information and are working towards common goals. We do not have hidden agendas and aim to do all we can to assist our clients in the most efficient manner possible without concern for our future profitability.
All decisions, advice and support will be made with the best interests of the child in mind. Short-term decisions and support should enhance the long-term learning outcomes of the child, not disadvantage them in the future.
