QUALITY: CADMHAS works towards ensuring quality as an organisation, an employer and a service provider.
INTEGRITY: Being open and honest in all of our interactions.
AUTONOMY: The right to self-government.
CONFIDENTIALITY: CADMHAS believes that everyone who uses our service has the right to confidentiality. We have systems in place to ensure that all information of a confidential nature is respected and protected.
It is only in exceptional circumstances that we will breach our confidentiality agreement with you.
These exceptions are:
- If you give us information relating to a child being abused;
- If you give us information that leads us to believe that your life, or the life of someone else is at risk
- If you give us information relating to an act of terrorism.
In these circumstances, we would always tell you about the disclosure and to try to gain your co-operation.
