This multi-disciplinary collection explores the establishment of trust where people and organisations are bounded by honesty. An essential read. Steven Shardlow, Director of The Institute for Health and Social Care Research, University of Salford

This collection of essays is a timely and excellent contribution to the debates about confidentiality and information sharing....iIt offers a wealth of ideas....and it is thus essential reading...a major contribution to stimulating and informing the needed debate among professional groups about how to respond to the new challenges while maintaining their ethical standards in relation to users.
