title: [Professional confidentiality and the best interests of the child].
abstract: Sharing secret information raises many questions. In child protection in particular, the obligation to remain silent and conditions of information sharing are associated with the concept of the best interests of the child. The latter is based on a set of criteria of which case-by-case evaluation remains the responsibility of professionals and requires a framework for decision-making procedures, which must be collegial.
