[No.] 14 [Section] 9.1.4 [Recommendation] 
RECOMMEND that the section of the Child Protection Guidelines is amended to reflect the expectation that health care professionals will notify the social work department if they anticipate there may be risk after birth for a child still in utero, even if it means breaching the duty of confidentiality owed to either mother or father.
