RLO: Why do we need confidentiality?


Dilemma 3

As the case conference progresses, the health visitor has the following to consider:

Ms X reveals at the case conference that the elder child has a tendency to play with sharp implements and has deliberately injured the family pet.

The health visitor has a child at the same school as Ms X's elder child and instinctively feels she should make some of the other parents aware of this potential source of danger.

Would it be appropriate to do this?
