And in addition the client may tell us themselves, information which we may deem risky to the clients or others lives. All information should remain confidential, and if the therapist breaches this, then they are likely to be sued. However if the life of the person is at risk or society as a whole then we may deem it necessary to breach confidentiality, however there is no consensus on what is deemed as harmful, and we would need to follow our governing body such as the BACP or Hypnotherapy society guidelines on how to deal with this. In most cases if you feel confidentiality has to be breached you should inform your client, as to the reasons why, this should be discussed in the initial consultation how and when you would do this, so you have an agreement before you start

Keeping record of storage It is important to keep records of what is stored so that you know if everything is up to date and so that you know what has been used or taken. It is also obvious if anything has been stolen and if it is likely to be misused. If something wasn’t on record of being stored the client or the staff member might get accused of stealing medication or equipment. Also if something is stolen and it wasn’t recorded it wouldn’t be obvious that it was taken and the individual could harm themselves if they take or use the drug or equipment. This could jeopardise the staff members job as they weren’t doing their job properly and they weren’t following policy and procedure, and it could harm the client as they might suffer consequences of taking the drug, such as overdosing, or they could be allergic to it without realising.

To date, the general procedure has been to send in crime scene and autopsy information and limited details concerning the crime and the victim to a profiler who then sends back a report. The process pretty much stops at this point. It is never explained how the profile impacted the course of the investigation.

LUERETTA HOWARD EVEREST UNIVERSITY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION BRIAN FOLLETT Under Cover Agents and Their Work Being an undercover officer means you have to go in and learn about the person or people you are investigating. You should have a plan and know what to do if a bust happens while you’re there and no one knows you’re under cover.
