Carers guide to confidentiality

We hope this guide will help you understand what confidentiality means for the trust, its staff, the person you care for and for you as a carer. A carer is anyone supporting their partner, friend or relative. As a carer, you play an important role and we work with you and try to make sure you have the right information you need, and have the right support
