Confidentiality information

Confidentiality is vital to our reputation and the impact of our work. Any health information disclosed will be treated in complete confidence by the team processing the information, and by the wider organisation.

We will not share information with anyone else without explicit consent from the client concerned.

There are some exceptional circumstances where we will share necessary information with other health and care professionals and agencies but only when the interests of patient safety and public protection override the need for confidentiality, for example:

• If we believe someone is at serious risk of harm, either from themselves or others

• If we receive a court order requiring us to divulge information

• If we are passed information relating to an act of terrorism, child abuse or any other criminal offence
