M3 Content Guide 1: Protecting Clients' Privacy
As is the case with every human services agency, The Wallace Stevens Community Center has an ethical and legal responsibility to protect its clients’ privacy to the extent possible. To serve their clients effectively, human services workers collect a wide variety of information from their clients. Some of the information is of a very personal nature. The clients’ responsibility to share personal information with their human services worker is predicated upon a reciprocal responsibility on the part of the human services worker and agency not to reveal personal information except under specific circumstances.
In this module, you will learn about the web of federal and state laws and ethical guidelines that are intended to protect privacy by influencing or controlling the handling of case records and the information.
You will examine the five principles of privacy (confidentiality, a
idgement, access, anonymity and security) that underlie privacy legislation and how agencies implement them to support privacy in day to day practice.
Finally, you will explore various strategies that you and your colleagues can use to protect client privacy.
