* The framework is open to the world. This has a few implications:

* Nothing in it should be confidential, private to NHSE or include any personal data.

* All links in framework pages should be public.

* Consider comments and Readme text: comments in open source repos such as this are not official communications and don't go through the normal approval process for public communication. They can however still be interpreted as official communication, even if not intended as such. For further details please see ["Consider comments and Readme text" in "Create knowledge"](principles.md#3-create-knowledge)

* Use [inclusive language](inclusive-language.md): avoid terms which cause hurt and offence, including if they have historically been considered industry-standard terms.
