This framework is aimed at planners and strategic policy makers to support response planning and organization of social care during and as COVID-19 develops. It outlines 8 ethical values and principles that should be considered in decision-making. These values are respect, reasonableness, minimising harm, accountability, proportionality and community. Each value has a series of associated actions to be used as a checklist.
