Introduction: Working Within Communities and Systems
The right of a person to know what happens to information he or she reveals during a community activity such as an intervention falls under the heading of ethics. A participant in a community program, a health clinic, an adult literacy class, a youth leadership initiative, or little league soccer has a right to certain expectations relating to how the information he or she passes on is treated. The community has expectations as well about the reliability, competence, and honesty of a program that benefits its citizens. In this section, we'll discuss what some of those expectations are, and your moral and legal obligations to those you serve.
