Privacy, Dignity and Confidentiality
Privacy, dignity, and confidentiality are at the heart of great care.
In Aotearoa, these are lived through everyday actions. They are present in how we speak, how we enter a space, and how we protect a person’s body, story, and mana.
This course explores how these values show up in real practice across homes, hospitals, and communities. It supports kaimahi to build confidence in protecting personal information, upholding dignity, and creating safe, respectful environments for tangata whaiora.

Why this course is important?
Privacy, dignity, and confidentiality shape how people experience care every day.
For many people, care involves moments that are personal, vulnerable, and deeply human. The way support is given can help a person feel safe, respected, and in control of what is happening.
Support workers are often the people walking alongside tangata whaiora most closely. This means the small, everyday actions, how you speak, how you protect privacy, how you handle information, carry real weight. They can strengthen trust, support hauora, and help people feel valued and understood.
In Aotearoa, these practices are also grounded in the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights, Te Tiriti-informed care, and tikanga that recognises the body, information, and identity as carrying mana and tapu.
This course supports you to build confidence in these everyday moments, so your practice reflects care that is respectful, culturally aware, and aligned with people’s rights.
