Dignity and respect
Recognise each person as an individual. Respect privacy, preferences, identity and the right to be involved in decisions.
Compassion and community
Understanding another person’s circumstances takes patience and empathy. Relationships, conversation and shared interests help sustain belonging.
Independence and equality
Support informed choice and fair treatment regardless of age, disability, nationality, background or circumstances.
Integrity and responsibility
Honest information, appropriate safeguards and accountability are essential to trust. Cooperation must respect boundaries and individual consent.
