School Counseling Confidentiality: A school counselor, who is in a counseling relationship with a student, has an ethical and legal obligation to keep information contained within that relationship. Confidentiality is the ethical and legal term ascribed to the information communicated within the counseling relationship, and it must be maintained unless keeping that information confidential leads to foreseeable harm*. “Serious and foreseeable harm is different for each minor in the school setting and is determined by students’ developmental and chronological age, the setting, parental rights and the nature of harm” (ASCA, 2016, A.2.e).
The School Counselor and Virtual School Counseling ASCA (Adopted 2017)
School counselors working in a virtual setting provide a school counseling program through the use of technology and distance (virtual/online/e-learning) counseling with the same standards and adherence to ethics as school counselors working in traditional school settings. School counselors work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure equity, access and success of all students whether virtual school counseling is offered synchronously or asynchronously.
Within the virtual environment, it is likely that other persons are in the surrounding area where counseling is taking place. It is recommended that the student finds a private place to speak with the counselor. Please keep in mind that Virtual School Counseling sessions do pose potential limitations, such as but not limited to, unsecured electronic communication platforms, unintended viewers or recipients, and appropriate use of electronic modes of communication by students, staff and parents.
