CODE OF CONFIDENTIALITY Sample Clauses

CODE OF CONFIDENTIALITY. You must at all times be aware of the importance of maintaining confidentiality of information gained by you during your engagement. A copy of the Trust policy is available from the Staffbank office. This will in many cases include access to personal information relating to service users. You must treat all information in a discreet and confidential manner and particular attention is drawn to the following: • Data protected information regarding service users must not be disclosed either verbally or in writing to unauthorised persons. It is particularly important that you should ensure the authenticity of telephone enquiries. • Written records, computer records and correspondence pertaining to any aspect of the Trust’s activities must be kept securely at all times. • You have an obligation to ensure that computer systems which you use are protected from inappropriate access within your direct area of practice e.g. by ensuring that personal access codes are kept secure. • All data held, the way it is managed and the procedures associated with it, must conform to the requirements of the Data Protection Xxx 0000. Under the Act service users and staff have a right of access to their records on application to the appropriate manager. This can be read in conjunction with the Trust’s Data Protection Policy. • If it is necessary to share information in order to effectively carry out your duties for the Staffbank, you must make sure that as far as is reasonable this information will be exchanged on a strictly ‘need to know’ basis, using the minimum that is required and be used only for the purpose for which the information was given. • If unsure seek advice from the Medical Director who is the Trust Caldicott Guardian. • Conversations relating to confidential matters affecting clients should not take place in situations where they may be overheard by passers-by, e.g. in corridors, reception areas, lifts and cloak rooms. • The same confidentiality must also be observed in dealing with work related matters appertaining to work colleagues. • Any breach of confidentiality may be regarded as misconduct and may result in your removal from the Staffbank Register.
