Confident Confidentiality: 3-Part Webinar Series
Audience: KCSDV Member Program Staff Only
Sponsored by:
Confidentiality is foundational to sexual and domestic violence victim advocacy. Given the complexity of situations encountered within advocacy, it is important to have a strong grasp of the laws, principles, and policies that guide advocate confidentiality. Becoming more confident about confidentiality obligations can help empower advocates to have necessary and productive conversations with survivors and with allied professionals. It can also help advocates to manage situations where information must be released in a way that promotes survivor safety and autonomy. Join us for this three-part webinar series, where we will start with the Foundation and Fundamentals (Part 1), and then dig deeper into the three avenues by which personally identifying information may be released: Survivor-Driven Releases of Information (Part 2) and Statutory Mandates and Court Orders (Part 3).
