1) Describe the potential tension that may arise with confidentiality and disclosing information?


2) Describe how own values, beliefs and experiences may affect working practice.

Hi michelle14,

1 Think about where an individuals discloses something to you and asks you not to tell anyone. You have a duty to report any issues where the individual might be in danger but the individual might not understand this.

2 Values - how important we think something is such as "I would never steal from a friend but shoplifting is OK"

Beliefs - your perception of something such as "Football is boring".

Your experiences form your attitudes, values an beliefs. Your culture, religion, personal experiences etc will impact on how you do your job.

You might do things the way you think they should be done or you might consider that your individuals have their own values, beliefs and experiences and would prefer you to respect them.

Hope that helps

Aunty Sue
