Health and social care setting
Confidentiality is keeping a confidence between the client and the practitioner which is an important part of good health care service.

Some children come from families who are affected by social exclusion or severe hardship sometimes they may have to face discrimination and prejudice because of their ethnicity, religious cultural background, the languages they speak, their gender or their disability or impairment. These factors can affect the well being of a child and can impact their learning or entertainment. To show that care workers value diversity it can be shown in a number of ways they can provide a secure and accessible environment and value any contributions made, they can value the contribution of all families, they could improve their knowledge and understanding and they can make good relations with the children in order to value them.
Working in partnership with parents and families.
Early years setting
Parents and families matter a lot and play a huge role in early years because mums and dads are the first most important influence in a child’s development and future outcomes.
