The professional responsibility of School Counselors is to respect the right to privacy of those with whom they enter into a counseling relationship. Professional school counselors must keep informed of and adhere to all laws, policies, and ethical standards pertaining to confidentiality. The counselor must not compromise this confidentiality except when there is a reasonable suspicion of danger to the student and/or other persons.
A student’s right to privacy and confidentiality is the basis for an effective counseling relationship. Confidentiality ensures that school counselors won’t share students’ disclosures with others except when the student authorizes it or when there is a clear and present danger to the student and/or to other persons.
