How is dealing with confidentiality important when dealing with child abuse?

In: Abused Children, Australia [Edit categories]

Answer:

Confidentiality is crucial when it comes to dealing with child abuse for many reasons:

Most parents will pursue the matter in a court of law. The lawyer prefers to keep all matters confidential (Code of Ethics) and also to protect their client(s). Child Abuse can be devastating for children old enough to understand so it's important any actions taken such as contacting the parents of one who abused the child; a babysitter; someone at school is kept as quiet as possible so the child is not traumatized any further.
