Reflecting on the learning experience:
Confidentiality means that information shared within a relationship will not be shared outside that relationship. The expectation is that what a client tells a social worker, the social worker will not reveal to others. The purpose of client confidentiality is to encourage clients to share information that may be embarrassing, or even self-incriminating. Through the sharing of such information, the social worker can help the client address an issue, concern, or problem the client may be experiencing. The social worker’s obligation to keep client information confidential is supported through state and federal law, but most often is discussed in reference to the NASW Code of Ethics. In the NASW Code of Ethics (NASW, 2008), Standard 1.07 outlines that social worker “should respect client’s right to privacy” and by protecting confidentiality of all information obtained in the course of the professional service. The social workers primary commitment is to his or her client, the code outlines that social works have responsibility to society as a large. In this the social worker had to focus on the intervention phase part two because in this it focuses on personal documents and statements of the client and what happens and is said throughout the interview is confidential.
Supporting evidence:
In this part, the evidence is taken out of the intervention report phase on, two and three but mainly phase two because that holds the most countable information about the client.
