Respect, responsibility, inclusiveness, partnership
For Healthy Respect these values all depend on each other and are at the centre of everything we do. They inform all of our work, from negotiations with partner agencies to the way our drop-ins run; from our training courses to our campaigns and communications. Healthy Respect hopes that the values of respect and responsibility also shape the relationships and attitudes of young people.
Respect: By this we mean communicating effectively; accepting difference; acknowledging the rights and feelings of self and others; and the unacceptability of abuse.
Responsibility: By this we mean planned and owned decision making; and the recognition that
‘I am part of a whole’ (i.e. part of this community, family, school, neighbourhood, country, world).

Inclusiveness: By this we mean equitable access for all young people to sexual health information, education and services.
Partnership: By this we mean young people, parents and organisations co-operating in the exchange of specialist resources to achieve the best possible wellbeing of young people. (Resources include expertise, products, literature, access to the network, time and/or money).
