If confidential data is shared publicly this could cause an individual’s self-esteem to decrease dramatically therefore the implementation of the data protection act in organisations is essential so this does not take place. The health sector handles some of the most sensitive personal data, and patients have the right to expect that information will be looked after. It is important that all cases of discrimination which occur in health, public health and adult social care services are reported at the earliest opportunity, and are handled effectively. The Date Protection Act ensures that these types of discriminatory practices don’t take place by making it illegal for organisations to reveal any of the sensitive data they keep to anybody else. This prevents infringement of rights as it is a person’s human rights to have their data protected at all times.

Confidentiality What is confidentiality and why is it important? The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has defined confidentiality as “ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access”. Confidentiality is the state of being secret; “you must respect the confidentiality of your client’s communications”.
