| Annotation | Sheltered housing scheme managers and wardens hold a great deal of information about residents from their schemes, files from the shared reports of other professionals, from confidences with other residents, and the gossip of others. The information held about residents may be used to ensure their care, and to help in day-to-day management of a sheltered housing scheme. However, serious issues may also be raised concerning the propriety of disclosing information, which may in turn give rise to conflict. While codes of good practice may provide a basic guide, they can also give rise to ambiguities. Papers and discussion at this Workshop explored these "grey areas", so that residents and staff are better prepared to tackle issues of confidentiality. (RH). |
