Explain Why Should Teachers Be Concerned About Children's Health And Well-Being

Another dilemma would be when to break confidentiality and share information. If you have any concerns about a child or feel they are at risk you need to share them and report it, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Children and their families have the right to privacy of their home lives. Information on the child and family needs to keep confidential and only shared if permission is given from the parents/carer. Conflict will occur when safeguarding the child from abuse from a family member. This information will then needed to be shared with other agencies this may need to be done without the parents consent in the interest of the child’s welfare. This information will still need to be done on a need to know bases and no gossiping.

Respecting confidentiality and sharing information: seeking agreement to share information that is relevant and proportionate while safeguarding children and young people's right to confidentiality as defined in the DPA and in line with local policys

Responding to any concern has to be done in a professional manner meaning that you don’t talk to the parents or carer of the child without first following procedures.

• Confidentiality and when, for the safety of the child or young person confidentiality must be breached.

Confidentiality means that information or anything said to you if kept safe and private and only people that need to know the information do. This may include personal details which show address, phone numbers, and medical information. Information on child development, like observation sheets. Finical information, how the children's parents pay for the children to be in the nursery.

* Confidentiality – Parents/carers must give consent for information to be collected and stored about their child and they should be able to access this freely. If information needed to be shared with other professionals, signed consent needs to be gained from the parent/carer with the exception of cases where it is believed a child is in immediate and significant harm. All information recorded must be securely stored so it is not freely accessible

She also asserts that testing is a violation of the child’s privacy since she can no longer choose whether to disclose her test results to her parents. Thus, healthcare providers should protect any child’s ability to choose which information she shares with her parents, particularly if that information (as is the case with late onset genetic diseases) only becomes relevant in adulthood and will affect her choices in marriage or reproduction (Davis _____).

Although confidentiality is important it is necessary to make parents aware that you may have to share information with your superior in some situations where the child may be suffering. Any kind of abuse, bullying or if a medical emergency arises confidentiality protocols must then be breached, if the child is in any way at risk.

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. This confidentially can only be broken when a child is at real risk.

During the placement I was able to spend time observing interactions between parents, children and staff. I witnessed many positive aspects in the schools approach to engaging parents and was particularly impressed by their open door policy for parents and the support provided to families in times of need by the learning mentors. As part of the admission process to the school, staff visit the parents and child at home and discuss the implementation of the home-school agreement (appendix 1.b). This agreement sets out the expectations of each of the parent, school and child in regard to their actions and attitude towards their time in school. This is often one of the first interactions teacher and parents have and Grayson (2011) suggests most teachers report these home visits to have a lasting positive effect on the child and parent-teacher relationship. During the school’s inspection in 2014 Ofsted identified relationships across the school and with parents as a key strength.

The main points of legislation and procedures covering confidentiality, are that confidential documents/records should only be accessed by the appropriate people, except where a child /pupil is potentially at risk. Information should only be shared if previously agreed, for example, parental consent which involves parents signing a consent form.

According to Dictionary.com confidentiality is “the right of an individual to have personal, identifiable medical information kept private.” The definition for this term is widely known in health care, but when it is applied to adolescents many people do not understand the basics. Doctors are responsible for informing adolescent patients and their parents the privacy a minor is given according to federal and state laws, but in some cases doctors fail to do so. This results in the misunderstanding of minor’s privacy rights, which can lead to the adolescent patient not disclosing significant information, and the parents assuming they have the right to all of their child’s medical records. Because of this, it is important for adolescents and their parents to understand the nature of confidentiality in health care.

They should have the right to make their own decisions. The ethical issue that arises in this case is whether the parent should have limited access to their son/daughters medical records. When it comes to privacy I believe that the parents should be limited in what they are able to access in the electronic medical record because some of the things that might be place in the record might be something very personal that the patient might not want to share with their parents. I would advice the practice leaders that the pediatric patients should be given the right to decide who is able to access their records and to what

We had a memorable school visit, where we get great chance to know detailed information about everything thing, like leadership, teachers, community involvement. On the very first day we were accompanied by principal and different teachers. They had meeting with teachers of other schools about the students coming in next session from primary school to Kuokkala School. They discuss every individual student, family issues, their nature of study, problems they had or have and solutions in order to give awareness to the teachers in advance. During conversation with principal they repeatedly told us about unity of trust. First parents have firmly trust on teachers, teachers trust each other’s and they collaboratively solve problems because they are professionals. Principal also trust on teachers because he himself have been teacher before. Collaboration, mutual responsibility is very common where every person thinks his/her responsibility and fulfills it.
