Teachers are criticized by JO for disclosing confidential information

In its decision, JO has no views on the teacher initiating a conversation with the students who should have exposed another student to violations.

But JO is critical that the teacher during the conversation where the offended student participated together with the students who should have teased them must have addressed the student's previous problems with urinary leakage.

That task is covered by confidentiality in accordance with the Public and Secrecy Act.

“Given that there was a very close relationship between the perceived violations and X's previous inconvenience, I believe that NN should have made a more accurate assessment of what they could talk to the students about without the conversation without risking giving information about the conversation. X's personal circumstances, ”says JO in his assessment.

If the teacher considered it important to talk about the pupil's previous problems in order to increase the understanding among the other pupils, according to JO, they should have contacted the guardians to ensure that these tasks could be disclosed.

"NN cannot avoid criticism for leaving confidential information about a student without the permission of the guardians," JO writes in his decision.
