Trying to understand some more about this and whether it’s acceptable or not, having heard along the grapevine some info that might be about me.
Do you share what you like with your family and friends? Do you have to privatise certain details?
The two scenarios and professions below are totally made up as not to give any identifying info. The profession is neither of those but similar. The level of detail shared is along the same lines (location and what happened, to a close connection of mine).
e.g
If you are police and you responded to a fight, could you tell your family and friends which pub and that a man was hurt?
If you are a paramedic, could you tell your friend who worked in a supermarket that you were at their work at the weekend treating a colleague who’d had a stroke?
I’m just trying to ascertain how much detail is acceptable for these professionals to share. I appreciate they must all be difficult jobs where it is valuable to offload to family and friends.
Is it generally fine for people in these organisations to share what they want so long as they don’t say your name or date of birth?
Thank you.
