Helplines Association “disappointed” about bullying helpline’s breach of confidentiality

The Helplines Association has issued a press release in response to an apparent breach of confidentiality by a helpline over the Gordon Brown bullying accusations. The chief executive of the National Bullying Helpline told the press that someone from Gordon Brown’s office had contacted them several times in the past year. THA says that it is concerned that this breach of confidentiality will reflect negatively on the helplines sector and that “the fundamental principle of any helpline is that they help to build the trust and confidence of their user to reach out for help.”
