Confidentiality
In order to achieve Healthy Schools Status, all schools must have a confidentiality policy (although this can be contained in other policies such as Safeguarding).
Schools need to consider:
- How the whole of the school community understands the confidentiality policy and what can and cannot remain confidential
- How the whole school community will be consulted on the policy
- Schools can ask the pupils to develop their own confidentiality policy which is clear and user friendly
- How the policy specifies who is bound by it e.g. school staff and who is not
To see a sample confidentiality policy please see the Policy Guidance Section
