Privacy Policy

Purpose and Scope:

The purpose of the privacy policy is to outline the procedures and guidelines that govern the handling, storage, and sharing of sensitive information within the workplace. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, and any other individuals who have access to confidential information in the course of their duties. The scope of this policy encompasses all forms of sensitive data, including but not limited to personal information of employees and clients, financial records, and proprietary company information.

Expected Outcome:

The expected outcome of this policy and procedure is to ensure the protection of individuals' privacy rights, maintain confidentiality, and comply with relevant laws and regulations regarding data protection. By establishing clear guidelines for handling sensitive information, the policy aims to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure of confidential data. Additionally, fostering a culture of privacy and trust within the workplace can enhance employee morale and strengthen relationships with clients and stakeholders.

Development of the Policy:

This policy was likely developed through a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders within the organization, including legal counsel, human resources, IT professionals, and departmental managers. The development process may have included research into relevant laws and regulations governing data privacy, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), depending on the nature of the organization's operations. Input from employees and feedback from relevant industry associations or regulatory bodies may have also been considered during the drafting and revision stages of the policy. Ultimately, the policy would have been reviewed and approved by senior management or the organization's board of directors before implementation.

Video

Watching video, What is Duty of Care . Duty of Care vs Dignity Risk

Duty of care does not mean we have to protect clients from themselves, but from the service being provided!

Starting point should be Dignity of Risk instead of Duty of Care.

Duty of Care kicks in at risk of:

• Death
  
• Serious Personal risk causing disability
  
• Lack of capacity
  
• Involuntary treatment orders (ITO / CTO)

This is decided by tribunals, not by ourselves.

Sometimes service providers over protect the clients – "overprotection"

The extreme is neglecting clients – "neglect"

To prove neglect it has to be shown that you

1. Had a 'duty'
   
2. Had a breach (of policies and procedures)
   
3. Injury

We need to start with Dignity of Risk, then Duty of Care.

Duty of Care is your legal responsibility to protect clients from death or serious harm.
