Why is confidentiality important?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a federal law establishing confidentiality rights for students and families. It protects the privacy of a student’s records.
Specific Reasons:
- Protects against disclosure of embarrassing personal information
- Protects family security
- Protects the family and student from fear of retaliation, discrimination, prejudicial treatment, or stigmatization
Informed and voluntary consent is used to insure confidentiality occurs within our programs. Everything is kept confidential unless:
- there is a signed release
- judicial orders are received
- occurring within school staff with having legitimate educational reasons
- a student shares about harm to self or others/ safety concern (These things need to be reported to keep the student and others safe.)
- it is considered directory information such as a newsletter or program for an event
