Confidentiality in the Reporting Process

Confidentiality plays an important role throughout the reporting process, and services can explain exactly what information is shared, and with whom, before you proceed further. It applies equally, whatever the particular circumstances happen to be. This is worth asking about directly, without any hesitation at all. This is worth knowing whether or not you ever decide to use it.

Asking questions about privacy in advance is entirely reasonable, and support workers are used to explaining this clearly and patiently to anyone who asks them. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at. This is worth understanding clearly before making any decision at all. This is worth remembering on days when everything else feels uncertain.
