Críticas

" This collection of essays is a timely and excellent contribution to the debates about confidentiality and information sharing....iIt offers a wealth of ideas....and it is thus essential reading...a major contribution to stimulating and informing the needed debate among professional groups about how to respond to the new challenges while maintaining their ethical standards in relation to users." Eileen Munro in Ethics and Social Welfare Vol 3:1 "This multi-disciplinary collection explores the establishment of trust where people and organisations are bounded by honesty. An essential read." Steven Shardlow, Director of The Institute for Health and Social Care Research, University of Salford

Reseña del editor

Handling personal and often sensitive information is central to daily practice in social and health services. However, the increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary and inter-agency working required for effective, joined-up services presents new challenges and dilemmas in preserving citizens' rights to privacy. This book examines key philosophical, ethical and legal issues in the area of privacy and confidentiality and explores their implications for policy and practice. ,Offering a range of analytical frameworks the book focuses on different practice areas, including health and social care, children's services and criminal justice. The contributors from disciplines including law, philosophy, anthropology and the personal service professions bring their direct personal experience of working to create new systems and practices in a turbulent policy environment. The book provides a synoptic multi-disciplinary view of this increasingly challenging area where technological development, civil liberties, surveillance, health and welfare become inexorably intertwined. The book will be of key interest to professionals, managers, policy makers and academics in the health and personal social services. Students of social work, probation, medicine, nursing and professions allied to medicine will find a common multidisciplinary framework for their respective professional concerns to protect the interests and promote the wellbeing of clients, their families and the wider community.
