good practice on confidentiality?

Answer 1

Take a look at the BACP website - www.bacp.co.uk - click on ethical framework, it should give you an insight into confidentiality.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you're asking here but in Psychology, we consider the following issues when carrying out research:

Medical problems-if someone declares a health problem, it is the researcher's obligation to advise the person to seek medical advice, if necessary. The researcher should also inform the participant if the results of the experiment suggest that the person has a health problem that he/she is not aware of. However, when publishing research, the person should be kept anonymous and of course, the results of any questionnaires/tests should be kept confedential, unless the person gives permission. Plus, you then have the issue of informing friends/family. If the person says they don't want anyone else to know, the researcher needs to respect that right.

2. Dealing with the results-the researcher should be very careful about who he/she discusses the results of experiments with, particularly when dealing with minors or vulnerable adults (because they cannot give written consent). Some people have a vested interest in the results of an experiment, so the researcher should be very wary of discussing these results, in case it causes the participant psychological harm. E.g. If a child is found to have a high IQ, the researcher should be wary about discussing the results with the parents or teachers, in case they put too much pressure on the child to meet very high expectations. Similarly, if carrying out research into depression which is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, you would need to be careful about discussing individual data with the company.

This is a brief answer but I hope it answers some of your question.

If you are asking about confedentiality in terms of your rights when seeing your GP or going into hospital, I suggest that you click onto the NHS Direct Website and look up the Patient's charter which should consider this issue in more detail.

If neither of these answers are what you wanted, could you please rephrase the question in a clearer and more specific manner when you repost it.

Good practice on confidentiality? Um, keep your mouth shout? That's probably the best practice for keeping things "confidential" (secret).
