Hi, reasons for reassuring children, young people and adults of the confidentiality of shared information are trust, safety and law.

Children, young people and adults need to know confidentiality will be honoured unless their, or other's safety and well-being is threatened, a crime has or is likely to be committed, and a professional's knowledge of and access to the child, young person or adult's information will not be abused, in the same way that it is important for professional's to understand how important shared information is, where and how it's stored, transported and disclosed to other appropriate professionals.

Data Protection act 1998

Article 8 of the Human rights act highlights privacy as a right as does article 16 of the UNCRC
