Your personal privacy and cultural identity must be respected at all times. Unless it’s an emergency, staff where you live should always knock before entering your room. You also have the right to privacy when talking on the phone or in person.
Your right to privacy also covers when you are:
- talking about your care to someone
- being examined or treated
- using the bathroom or other personal hygiene activities.
Respect for your cultural identity can be things like respecting and recognizing your language and customs.
