This year, 99% of staff agreed that “the leader of this organisation runs this organisation based on sound moral principles” and an incredible 94% of staff agreed that they love to work for MPCT.

This year has been incredibly challenging across the World, but MPCT staff have shown incredible resilience to the ongoing pandemic and drawn on the core values that underpin the entire organisation; Physical & Mental Health, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, Empathy and PRIDE.
