Overview

The lecture covers the legal and ethical aspects of confidentiality and documentation in social work. Key legislation such as the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, the Social Services Act and the LSS is reviewed, together with fundamental principles for handling sensitive personal data in a legally secure way.

Key points
Confidentiality entails a duty to protect sensitive information about individuals, both spoken and written.
Confidentiality may only be broken where the law requires it, for example when a child is suspected of being at risk.
Documentation is essential for ensuring quality, legal certainty and continuity in social work.
Ethical principles such as respect for individual self-determination are balanced against society's need for transparency.
