Nothing about us without us: Five principles for the next phase of the Covid-19 response

Nothing about us without us: Five principles for the next phase of the Covid-19 response
National Voices June 2020
  • "Decision makers must engage with those citizens most affected by both the virus and lockdown restrictions and understand how lives are lived by those who have underlying conditions." National Voices, a coalition of health and care charities in England, have developed five principles to underpin and test any policy change.
    • 1. Actively engage with those most impacted by the change
    • 2. Make everyone matter, leave no-one behind
    • 3. Confront inequality head-on
    • 4. Recognise people, not categories, by strengthening personalised care
    • 5. Value health, care and support equally
