Child Abuse
• This is a very sensitive subject and some adults feel very uncomfortable talking about it. Other adults can jump to the wrong conclusions without getting all the facts. It is your job as an EYW to look out for different types of abuse. Sometimes the first signs that you observe are not physical but a change in the child’s behaviour.

Data Protection Act
• Parents will often give you confidential information on the basis that it will be helpful to you when working with their child. They do so trusting the information will not be passed on to other and become a source of gossip.
• When the trust has been broken not only is it against the law but can have catastrophic problems for the family
• BUT When can confidentiality be broken?
