Sshhh – Confidentiality issues for language professionals
The duty of confidentiality applies to us all. So what do our professional Codes of Conduct tell us about it, when exactly does it apply, in which work venues and settings and how long does this duty last for?
Sue will consider these questions in an interactive session where she invites you to participate with any queries you might have such as:
- Many of us subcontract work - are we breaching the client's confidentiality when we do this?
- Is it ok to work on our laptops in Starbucks, Costa and so on?
- Should we sign clients' NDAs which ask us to destroy our work on completion of the job?
