Equity - fairness in the distribution of resources, particularly for those in need
Rights - equality of rights established and promoted for all people
Access - fair access for all people to economic resources, services and rights essential to their quality of life
Participation - opportunity for all people to genuinely participate in the community and be consulted on decisions which affect their lives.
