When the client's identifying information is removed
-

-
With other human services professionals

This is because social networking sites are not secure platforms for discussing sensitive client information, and there is always a risk of unauthorized access or breach of privacy. It is important for human services professionals to maintain confidentiality and protect the privacy of their clients, so discussing client cases on social networking sites should be avoided under all circumstances.Rate this question:

-
Provide the poor with enough cash relief to alleviate the harshest aspects of poverty.

The aim was to ensure that the support was provided within the community and that families were primarily responsible for taking care of their own members in need.Rate this question:
