Hi guys,
I need to list 3 ways employers can provide a duty of care and address the rights of their employees.
Also i need to name an ethical and legal obligation a colleague is ignoring when failing to put children's files away. She come and told children which child has a mental problem and has to take medication.
Would this be in regards to confidentiality?^

Here are some previous topics based on duty of care that may help:

CHCCN511A OHS Legislative Framework
chccs400a - obligations and legal responsibilities

In regards to the scenario, yes it is due to privacy and confidentiality requirements. Also have a look at the Code OF Ethics which is attached in my post on the second like above.

Hope this helps,
