  • Use evidence and correction processes for public claims and comparisons.
  • Develop public health communication around empathy and inclusion, informed by the effects of fear and stigma.

Questions we need to answer

  1. How will people affected by a decision obtain a meaningful hearing?
  2. What evidence would show a service is working in practice?
  3. Which safeguards protect disagreement, scrutiny and human autonomy?
