The work will model the six principles produced by the People and Communities Board, alongside the New Models of Care Vanguard Sites, for changing the way that health and care relate to people and communities. The six principles require that:
These ‘six principles’ set out the basis of good person-centred, community focused health and care.

- care and support is person-centered: personalised, coordinated, and empowering
- services are created in partnership with citizens and communities
- focus is on equality and narrowing inequalities
- carers are identified, supported and involved
- voluntary, community and social enterprise and housing sectors are involved as key partners and enablers
- volunteering and social action are recognised as key enablers.
