Confidentiality Statement
School counselors recognize their primary obligation for confidentiality is to the student but balance that obligation with an understanding of the family or guardians' legal and inherent rights to be the guiding voice in their children's lives (ASCA Code of Ethics).
The role of the school counselor in regards to confidentiality is:
To support the student's right to privacy and protect confidential information received from students, the family, guardian, and staff members
To explain the meaning and limits of confidentiality to students in developmentally appropriate terms

To inform students and the family of the limits to confidentiality when:
Student poses a danger to self or others
Court ordered disclosure
Consultation with other professionals in support of the student, i.e. colleges, supervisors, treatment teams, and other support personnel
To keep personal notes separate from educational records and not disclose their contents except when privacy exceptions exist
