Confidentiality?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could offer advice as to how to deal with promising a child confidentiality, but then having to report suspected abuse to legal authorities. How do you explain this to a child before the research begins?

I look forward to hearing from other researchers working with children,

Thanks,

Kate
