Culture includes language, values, beliefs, attitude of particular group. Different culture
has differed languages, gestures etc. For instance in Africa it is disrespect if someone looks
directly into other eyes, whereas in Wales if person do not make eye contact that means
individual is dishonest. So due to different cultural meaning confusion can take place which may
harm the relationship to great extent (Hofstetter and Rosenthal, 2014).
Whenever person works as professional, individual has to communicate well with others.
Use of inappropriate language, gestures can create misunderstanding in the workplace. It can
affect the relationship with subordinates and others (Leach and McFarland, 2014).
Different social groups have several beliefs and attitude. As some times talking at the
time of taking lunch is considered as rude behaviour, so by this way other will feel comfortable
and it may impact on their relationship to great extent.

suffered from abuse or other. NHS, safeguarding board and other non statutory organizations
work together for the protection of child. They keep confidential the information of person

Data protection act 1998
This act ensures that personal information of subordinates, patients and other need to be
kept confidential. Professional are required to maintain confidentiality of medical, person,

 Reassuring is very important as young people will analyse their obligation towards
society and they will know the effectiveness of confidentiality. Thus, they will support
professionals such as teachers etc. and will not revel personal information of any other
child to anyone.

ask about the personal information of other kid (Kamen, 2012).

When confidentiality protocols breach then several situation may occur: Suspected child abuse: When person information of child leaks then kid may get suffer
from child abuse. In such situation professional need to take immediate action and has to
tell about danger to the person. It should be in such manner so that child can understand
that breaching of confidentiality is done because of his safety.
 Child at risk harming own self or others: In such situation confidentiality needs to be
breached immediately so that professional can protect the child (Burnham and et.al,
2014).
