Confidentiality Policy

Any information regarding your child or your family, given to me either verbally or in writing, will be treated as confidential.

 Parents will have access to their own child’s records but not to others. All documentation relating to your child is stored in a locked file, which is not accessible to any other party.

 I will not share information about your child with anyone else unless I have permission from you, for example; to take your baby to be weighed by the Health Visitor.

 I will however divulge confidential information to Social Services and to Ofsted if I have any concerns that your child is being abused. (Please see my Child Protection Policy).

 You will also find out information about my family and me during our working relationship and I would be grateful if you too would respect my family’s confidentiality and not repeat anything to other parties. No one likes to be gossiped about.

 If you have any concerns regarding this policy please do not hesitate to contact me.
