Guidance for Safer Working Practice for Adults who Work
with Children and Young People.
Section 12 Communication with Children and Young People (including the Use of Technology)
Adults should not share any personal
information with a child or young person. They should not request, or
respond to, any personal information from the child/young
person, other than that which might be
appropriate as part of their professional role.
Communication between children and adults, by whatever method, should take
place within clear and explicit professional
boundaries. This includes the wider use of technology such as
mobile phones text messaging, e-mails,
digital cameras, videos, web-cams, websites
and blogs.
Adults should ensure that all communications are transparent and open to scrutiny.
