AGREEMENT ON DUTY OF CONFIDENTIALITY

All personnel working within social services or health care have a duty to maintain confidentiality. They are not allowed to give information of the client/patient and their family to outsiders. 

By signing this agreement on the duty of confidentiality I confirm that I understand that the duty of confidentiality applies both in supervised clinical practice and in my later professional work and confidentiality obligations continue to apply the rest of my life. 

I have familiarised myself with legislation concerning the client/patient and professionals in social services and health care as required by my future profession. 

I hereby commit myself to adhere to confidentiality.
