- Why we need records
- SU histories are not forgotten
and can be used to make
informed care decisions
- So that Care Workers can
remember what has been done
and what will happen in the future
- SU knows what has
happened and what
services they can recieve
- Care can be provided by
more than one worker
- Care can be co-ordinated
between agencies
- Signed records prove that
something has happened
- To provide information
which improves public health
- Sharing information
from personal records
- Confidential - information unavailable in
public domain, shared in a relationship where
the person understands it can't be shared
- Sensitive information is about race,
political, religious, sex life, offences
- This kind of information can be shared
and isn't always confidential. It is at the
discretion of the person involved
- Consent
- Explicit - The person gives
consent knowing exactly
what they are agreeing to.
- Implied - is when someone has not explicitly said
that their personal information may be shared but
their behaviour suggests that they are aware that
it will be passed on and they are happy with this
- Carers often feel that that they need to
know details of the SU in order to support
them better. NHS guidelines say that
without explicit consent from the SU
- Brian & Amy - confides in HV Christine
- Confidentiality should be breached if more harm
will be done by maintaining it than breaching it.
