Confidentiality

Unless you give permission, the 0-19 team will not share anything you say with anyone else, such as parents, teachers, or similar professionals – except in extreme circumstances. For example, if the health, safety or welfare of you/your young person or someone else is at significant risk.

If we did need to tell anyone about something you’ve told us in confidence, we would always try and speak with you first. For our safety and yours, we hold any private information you share with us in electronic records, which can also be seen by other healthcare professionals. These professionals, which can include your doctor, all follow the same confidentiality. Records are kept for future use.
