Confidentiality
Confidentiality is important to us and our service users. The information you share with us will be kept in the strictest confidence and in accordance with the Data Protection Act (2018). During the Intake and Assessment meeting, a member of the Services Team will explain to the service user the exceptional circumstances when confidential information will have to be shared. For example, if they or somebody else is at risk of significant harm or where there is a requirement in law in the case of serious criminal offences (in particular terrorism and money laundering). Where possible, we will try to get their consent before disclosing any information and do our best to help them.
