New book of Therése Fridström Montoya

Authors: Fredrik Rådman, Therése Fridström Montoya

Description

Rules on confidentiality and professional secrecy are updated in both public and privately conducted activities in the social services area.

The book, Confidentiality and duty of confidentiality in the area of social services, describes first briefly the principle of openness and basic provisions on secrecy in the social services. Thereafter, the book deals with, relatively in detail, secrecy-breaking provisions that regulate the conditions for the social services to provide information to other authorities. Disclosure of information to guardians, good men, trustees and other individuals is also addressed.

Confidentiality and duty of confidentiality in the area of social services can be used both by practicing officials and by students in, for example, sociology education.
