Who let the cat out of the bag?
Is confidential information safe in your hands, or does it just slip through...? Roisin Woolnough challenges you to check your discretion levels. 
Can you keep a secret? Or is your definition of a secret, something you only tell to one person at a time?! In today's workplace, keeping a lid on confidential information is almost a daily requirement for secretaries and PAs. And it's increasingly complex! More fluid workforces make it harder to know who to trust, internet hackers wage continual attacks on your firm's cyber defences, companies merge and downsize, open plan offices leave documents vulnerable to prying eyes, the laws which apply seem to contradict each other - to say nothing of the internal politics that you also have to dance around! Welcome to the sensitivities and subtleties of the secretary's role!
