Confidentiality Guidance Note: Advice for health actors addressing child protection concerns during infectious disease outbreaks

As a health worker, you must collaborate with child protection actors to appropriately and confidentially refer any child protection concerns that have been disclosed and/or detected. If possible, recruit someone with child protection expertise to work on your team. This tool explains what confidentiality means, why it is important, how it can be maintained, and best practices for sharing information confidentially when it is in the child’s best interests.

The guidance is available in English, Spanish, French and Arabic.
