Confidentiality Policy
Organisations
may find it helpful to develop a Confidentiality Policy which should
summarise their approach to the management of verbal or written confidential
information. It is important that children, young people, parents/carers
and workers know:
- how personal and sensitive data (information) is processed
by the organisation (e.g. why it is requested and how and where
it is stored);
- their right of access to such information (with exceptions
stated);
- the obligation on the organisation to break confidentiality
when concerned about the care and protection of children and
young people;
- the obligations on all workers to treat sensitive and
personal information about children, young people and their
families in a professional manner.
