This is particularly true in cases of suspected child abuse or when a child or young person is at risk. You should at all times tell the individual that you will not be able to keep confidentiality if they disclose something to you which you cannot keep to yourself for these reasons.

There truly are times when it is best for a treatment to be either withheld or withdrawn to keep a child from going through needless suffering. It is strongly agreed that if treatment causes more harm than help, then, that treatment should be discontinued or never started. The child’s best interest should always be of priority.
