With some exceptions (see below), your personal information is kept strictly confidential within our team and will not be shared without your consent.
EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIALITY:
- When information you disclose indicates there is clear and imminent danger to yourself or to others. In this situation, the counsellor or support worker is ethically required to take necessary steps to prevent such danger.
- When information you disclose indicates that a child (defined in B.C. as a person under the age of 19) is at risk and is in “need of protection”. The counsellor or support worker is required by law (so is any member of the general public) to inform staff at the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).
- For case consultation to ensure the provision of quality services. This occurs within our team at the Golden Family Center only.
