Shared goals: The iHV works with partners whose goals, values and actions align with its own to promote and/or enable good health. By working together, we develop bespoke partnerships to help organisations achieve their own business objectives to make a real difference to the lives of babies, children and families. Through our partnerships, we have developed mutually beneficial relationships with other organisations and opportunities for shared learning, without compromising the independence of the iHV. Our model aligns with other leading independent charities and nursing organisations.
Ethical principles: All partnerships are conducted in direct pursuit of the iHV’s mission statement and values – applications are rigorously screened to ensure they align with our business plan, objectives and ethical principles, and do not pose any conflict of interest. The iHV will not engage in partnerships with any organisations whose activities are harmful to health, including organisations linked to tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and breastmilk substitutes (for full exclusions see iHV Ethical Principles).
Transparency about our partnerships: The iHV aims to be transparent in its relationships with other organisations. Collaborations may include sponsorship agreements, joint ventures, commissions, consultancy, partnership working, and exhibitor stands at iHV events.
