DCSF 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.
