Why it is important to reassure children, young people and adults about confidentiality and why it may need to be breached.
Adults who work with children and young people will come to know most of the personal information like date of birth, address and contact details and also sensitive information like behavioural issues, some medical information, family background, whether parents are divorcing and so on. It is the responsibility of the adult to keep this information confidential. They must protect the identity of the child they work with and that of their families and carers. They must do everything in their power to protect the privacy of every child and adult.
Practitioners have a legal duty of confidence with regards to person information that they hold about children young people and their families. Any information you receive about young people and their families. In my work setting information should only be shared with professionals, all information child protection records should be kept securely. These are kept behind the manager’s desk on a tall shelf so that children can’t access them. Personal information should only be disclosed to third parties such as social services after obtaining the consent to who the information relates to in some child protection matters but it may not be possible to obtain consent. The data protection act 1998 allow allegation without consent in some circumstances for example to detect and prevent crime, to apprehend prosecute and offender.
Children love to play and explore. For example while in a park a child will want to climb a ladder to go on a slide. Natural reaction may be to hold or even pick up a child and put them up. Children learn best when trying and experiencing things themselves. There is a risk of a child slipping and falling of the steps but a child also has a right to experience facilities to aid their development. Children need to learn how to predict and avoid dangerous situations.Another potential dilemma may be confidentiality. I must ensure that all personal information is kept confidential and is not shared with anyone else unless permission form is signed. But if there is a case of concern that a child’s welfare may be at risk social services have to be informed.There is also a possibility of conflict with parent’s wishes due to their culture and religion.
Explain how the procedures of the work setting protect both children and young people and practitioners.
Ensuring children and young people’s safety and welfare in the work setting is an essential part of safeguarding. While children are at school, practitioners act in ‘loco parentis’ while their parents are away. As part of their legal and professional obligations, practitioners hold positions of trust and a duty of care to the children in their school, and therefore should always act in their best interests and ensure their safety – the welfare of the child is paramount (Children Act 1989). The Children Act 2004 came in with the Every Child Matters (ECM) guidelines and greatly impacted the way schools look at the care and welfare of pupils. Children and young people should be helped to learn and thrive and be given the opportunity to
• Confidentiality and when, for the safety of the child or young person confidentiality must be breached.
1. Confidentiality must be kept at all times. You must have the senior practitioner’s and/or the parents’ permission before making formal observations of children. Do not to leave confidential material lying around they must be secured in a locked cabinet. Line of reporting-only talk to authorized personal about confidential material.

When you think of a child, you may not immediately think of them as a single entity, but instead as an extension of their parents. This view is one that doesn't seem to disappear until the child has reached their teens and are into their junior high and high school age. This view has to do with the idea of parental consent. Once a child reaches ages in the teens and above, they become more capable to make decisions without the guidance of a parental or another adult figure. Issues arise from this when we talk about the rights of the child because children don’t have a universal set of rights like the right of man, and some rights, such as the right to bear arms, wouldn’t . What are we to do if we want to give children rights that they deserve,
In 1993, five men engaged into activities, which to them only brought gratification and satisfaction. However, it was evident when the “Law Lords upheld the original convictions of the men under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act for engaging in sadomasochism” , that the law saw it differently. All “five men were fully consenting adults, who willingly and privately participated.” Still, the Law Lords held that “it is not in the public interest that people should try to cause, or should cause, each other actual bodily harm for no good reason.” This decision, has become a very controversial one, with many questioning its merits. This essay will therefore try to negate whether consent should have been a sufficient defence, if this decision
An individual around the age of 13 asks his parents if he can watch a movie with their consent and they allow him to, however he and his friends later get kicked out from the theatres anyways. Parental consent should be a major factor in determining if a teen should be allowed to watch rated R movies. According to the author A.O. Scott of The New York Times, parents have the authority on deciding whether a teenager is eligible for attending a rated R movie or not. “We all know what's right for our children” (A.O. Scott). Parents have lived with their children for most of the children's life and they understand how they act, and based off of their behavior, they can decide what movies the child can and can’t watch. It is not wrongdoing for the
According to the book from the perspective of the Sociologist Humphrey he did an experiment on me without my consent, i honestly would be mad because it's my personal life and if I don't give permission I wouldn't want someone to even write about it even if I did have my consent. I would probably feel a violated, and invaded in my personal space but if I am doing things that I should not be doing in public and I wouldn’t want my parents to see it then why do it in public. I was raised better and with morals but now people usually do anything they want in front of everyone and cameras. The scientist may feel he has the right to observe me but what if I have a bad temper and I don't like people seeing me I would find this uncomfortable.If I am
or respecting every partner. Many students said that the norm is to discuss assault in a “preventative manner” and there is too much “emphasis on teaching women to defend themselves,” rather than teaching men to respect women. The most important aspect is to bring consent education in curriculum for younger student which means” NO” means “NO”. Teaching young adults about healthy relationship and consent should not be controversial. Universities should offer programs and safe spaces to discuss consent, sex, and rape, as they are not taking enough measures, according to their students. Many students suggest a training program on the concepts of consent, safer sex, bystander education etc. They also emphasized more information and awareness given
PG-13 movies are supposed to be for kids to watch with parental consent. This means that the movie that is being shown under these ratings is supposed to be appropriate enough for the children to watch. However, some of the PG-13 rated movies reveal a little too much violence and or sexual content for a child’s brain to consume. This type of content in the movies causes negative and life changing effects to a child that nobody would ever think of happening. These effects not only harm the child, but also can cause the child to harm someone else. The exposure to violent PG-13 films like “The Dark Night” or “Jurassic Park” to children is extremely detrimental to their psychological and emotional well-being with the ratings increasing the sexual, violent, and inappropriate content in the films.
