Teachers who assess young children need to maintain confidentiality and privacy regarding all observation and assessment processes. This is important to protect the child's privacy and avoid any potential harm or stigma that may result from sharing confidential information. The teacher can share information about a child's progress and needs with other staff members and families but only with their explicit consent. Likewise, they should show concern about a child's welfare by sharing confidential information only with agencies and individuals who have a legitimate need to know and are authorized to receive such information.
