I have absolutely no clue! can anyone please help. feelin the confusion

Hi first you need to ask your school/setting for a copy of their confidentiality policy xx

I have it but unsure what info I should extract from it.

does it have to be completed as a table? it will give you less room for concise answers if so, so it will be really brief points of importance. which unit are you doing? mine are numbered differently so can't help from yours without the actual unit title x

Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults is the title. yes, it has to be completed as a table unfortunately.

I've had that unit signed off, I didn't need to do a table, which question is it?

Hi there are 8 principles to data protection - on ICO.org.uk

fair and lawful
purposes
adequacy
accuracy
retention
rights
security
international

read the policy and see what it says about confidentiality, what information does it say can be shared, and how are the principles of data protection applied ie. how long are records kept, why are they kept, where are they kept, who has access to them.

I have completed the consideration in practice part. I now need to complete the responsibilities and legal implications part! would those 8 principles above go into the data protection part for responsibilities then?

this was the question:
Instruction: Read school confidentiality policy and pick out key factors that you need to consider in your role as teaching assistant to help maintain confidentiality and sharing of information on a need-to-know basis.

yes, the responsibilities in the policy make sure you don't breach The Data Protection Act 1998 any breach would be breaking that legislation/law.

Look for information in the policy about how you handle details about children's learning eg. speaking only to named people - a parent or a grandparent. Making sure information is passed on to the correct person, stating how any records that contain personal information are stored correctly.
