Guiding principles to invest in and protect health equity and social justice.

SAFER
Socially Aware	Consideration of ‘social life’ of interventions.
Anticipatory	Anticipate and plan for how to manage the social meanings and consequences of public health strategies in infectious disease outbreaks.
Flexible	Tailor to specific community needs. Adapt to emerging opportunities and threats. Responsive to relative risk (prioritises infection control but not neglect gravity of other concerns).
Equity	Promote equity by attending to inclusivity (language, social framing and interventions). Support fairer access, engage with the disenfranchised, and invest in local networks of community trust and knowledge.
Resilience	Fostering social justice, inclusivity and solidarity will support trust and resilient communities to engage in further public health responses.
