TASK 2

Directions: Highlight the importance of

confidentiality by answering each questions in three

to five sentence.

1. Why do you think that confidentiality is so

important in the client/worker relationship?

Answer: Confidentiality is important for several

reasons. One of the most important elements of

confidentiality is that it helps to build and develop

trust. It potentially allows for the free flow of

information between the client and worker and

acknowledges that a client’s personal life and all

the issues and problems that they have belong to

them.

TASK 2

2. It’s Friday. You are a worker at a youth drop-in

centre and a journalist calls at 2 pm and asks if

they can photograph the youth group tonight so it

can be used in Saturday’s paper. You are keen to

get publicity but you need to think about the rights

of your clients in this situation. The coordinator is

away.

What do you do?

Answer: I can't agree to the photograph without

consulting the young people and their

parents/carers (particularly if they are under 16

years). In making the decision, the young

people/carers would need to be aware of any

repercussions for them, such as loss of privacy if

they decide to be photographed.

TASK 2

I would need to consult other staff (if the

coordinator is away), attempt to contact at least a

number of young people/carers to seek permission

before committing to the photo and make sure I

have acted within any guidelines outlined in the

confidentiality policy and procedure in relation to

such requests.
