This means that any information provided by or about a person shall not be given directly or indirectly to anyone else without the express permission of that person, excepting situations where there is a legal obligation to do so.
General information may be shared with other doulas within the Doula UK network but in an anonymised format for the sole purpose of support, supervision or training. Any publicity or report on the work of Doula UK should not disclose information that might identify an individual client or doula without their express permission. Doula UK advises its members that all confidential information should be stored and/or destroyed appropriately.
