Hi First of all thank you for this amazing platform honestly I am really thank ful to you every time you guide me and help me.

I am havng little confusion with this answer i wrote it down and my instructor want me to review it again she helped me
so I just wana ask you if I am right now before I submit my work

Q decsribe the basic principle and practice of privacy and confidentiality?

Answer : The privacy and personal information protection act (1998) is set out to protect and individual's right to privacy and confidentiality. Where as UN convention identifies the child right to privacy. The regulations make it clear that educators must maintain confidentiality at all times in relation to personal information about children and families.
I need to make sure that no information should be discussed with any body outside my center, I need to be discreet while talking on phone,
All the information that is confidential should be out of reach from public and secure in safe place. Not to use any names or personal information in any public or meeting .
I can share the information only under circumstances when there is need to certain regulatory authority for instance when child is at risk

Am I right with this answer
