| The ICG Ethics and Standards committee were recently asked for advice by a Careers Adviser worried about lack of privacy in her workplace. Put briefly, her Managers had decided to re - vamp the Student Services area of her College such that she would be required to interview clients not in her own office or an interview room, but on sofa - type seating in the Reception area. Was she being asked by her employer to breach her professional Code of Ethics? Given the trend towards greater informality in all walks of life, and the move towards more "user - friendly" public areas in Colleges, etc., should ICG members be concerned about the apparent lack of privacy when seeing clients? Are clients entitled to privacy? Are there ways of maintaining an acceptable level of privacy and confidentiality even in "non - traditional" working areas? The views of members, who may have had to face this issue, and indications of how they resolved the dilemma, would be welcome. |
