annie Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Oracle, It doesn't sound right to me. I would like to think that the consultation would remain confidential unless permission had been given by Mum. The Information Commissioner's Office are very helpful. They should be able to give you the legal take on it. http://www.ico.gov.uk/eventual.aspx Annie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizK Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Adam's letter have been copied to the us, the GP, SALT, HV file, OT, Ed Psych and his early Yrs preschool teacher in the past. I think they routinely just go to anyone employed by health (so GP, SALT, HV), the ones to LEA employees were about his diagnosis and then about statementing. I would have thought there were issues about confidentiality in copying letters to schools as they are not covered by the same patient confidentiality rules as the health service Lx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
