Adults have the right to give or withhold their own personal information. However, if someone alleges that they were abused by an identifiable adult who is still alive then you must consider whether other children could be at risk now. Never promise confidentiality. Talk to the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser who can talk through the options.
