Understanding ESS

Counselors protect the confidential information of prospective and current clients. Counselors disclose information only with appropriate consent or with sound legal or ethical justification. (ACA Code of Ethics B.1.c.) 

 Social workers should respect clients’ right to privacy. Social workers should not solicit private information from or about clients except for compelling professional reasons. Once private information is shared, standards of confidentiality apply. (NASW Code of Ethics: Ethical Standards 1.07.a.)
