You can be sure that anything you discuss with any Central Youth worker will stay confidential.

Even if you are under 16 nothing will be said to anyone - including parents, other family members, friends, partners, care workers, teachers, GP's, police - without your permission.

The only reason why we might have to consider passing on confidential information without your permission, would be to protect you or someone else from serious harm. We would always try to discuss this with you first.

If you have any worries about confidentiality, please feel free to ask a member of CY staff.
