Records specific to torture survivors and their families, gained in the course of health and/or legal assessments within an organisation, are sensitive records with personal information. This information is normally protected by national legislation which differs from country to country (e.g. data protection legislation, accessing health records legislation), and by ethical standards of professional bodies govern how professionals collect and record sensitive, confidential personal information. This information may be related to health, experiences of torture and other human rights violations, family circumstances, family members, political activities, welfare and housing context. Records may be used for a variety of purposes: clinical practice, legal support and advice, advocacy, medico-legal reports/documentation, research, publicity, fundraising among others. Record-keeping It is good practice to:    Be aware of the national legislation which impacts on the practice of collecting, recording, accessing and disclosing sensitive, personal information about individuals and families. Ensure there is an organisational policy on how and where to record sensitive information, how to protect it, procedures to follow when there has been a breach of ethics and/or organisational policy and procedures to safeguard the welfare of individuals and their families where such breaches have occurred. Ensure all staff engaged in collecting information from torture survivors and their families are adequately informed of the organisational policy on record-keeping, trained in good ethical practice, and provided with opportunities for supervision from senior practitioners (clinical, legal etc.) to consider ethical dilemmas. 21
