Why is maintaining confidentiality when working with children so important?

Seems like homework to me? Is it?

That's a pretty easy question to answer. Why do you think it's important?

It's for my certificatre lll.
I have already answered it but apparently my answer wasn't the one they were looking for.
I was hoping someone could give me some new idea's

What was your answer that wasn't correct?

To protect the children, families, and other staff memebrs from harm.


I had alot more but I don't remember it all. I wasn't given what I had handed in back

What harm?

Harm that can be caused to their reputation, and from other people

What about laws in your area about disclosing personal information?

Haven't found any, but I am still looking

I think it's important because it shows repect, prevents rumours and protects family reputations
