As it relates with Prevention Supervision, The Principles of Biomedical Ethics Framework is well known to be the foundation for modern applied ethics in healthcare, counseling, psychology, and supervision.

The framework continues to serve as a key reference in these fields and consists of four moral principles given which include:

Nonmaleficence

Beneficence

Autonomy

Justice

They are considered to be mid-level norms found in these fields and can assist in balancing conflicting duties with the professions. These moral principles are as well applicable to prevention supervision.

This framework includes:

Responsibility

Beneficence

Justice

Integrity

Respect for People's Rights and Dignity

Because prevention differs from individual therapy serving communities and systems, prevention ethical principles have also integrated from public health ethics frameworks which adopt equity, cultural responsiveness, community engagement, data, transparency, and balancing both individual autonomy and seeking the benefit of whole populations.

An example of such a principles list is:

Fidelity & Responsibility

Community Engagement

Autonomy

Cutural Responsiveness
