Beddau Buddies work with children and their families will sometimes bring them into contact with confidential information.
To ensure that all who use and work in Buddies can do so with confidence, confidentiality will be respected in the following ways:
1.) Parents/carers will have ready access to any files and records of their own children but will not have access to information about any other children.
2.) Staff should not discuss individual children, other than for purposes of activity planning/group management with anyone other than the parents/carers of that child.
3.) Information given by parents/carers to the playleader/member of staff should not be passed to other adults without permission.
4.) Any anxieties/evidence relating to a child’s personal safety should be kept in a confidential file and should not be shared within the group (except with the staff and the committee Chair). The Area Child Protection Guidelines will be followed in such cases.
5.) Issues to do with the employment of staff, whether paid or unpaid, should remain confidential to the people directly involved with making personnel decisions.
6.) The safety and well-being of the child will be of paramount importance.
7.) Volunteers/students are advised of our confidentiality policy and will be required to follow it at all times.
