eSANE: Protecting Survivors’ Privacy and Other Rights in Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration
For any victim service agency or community organization working with survivors, maintaining the privacy of survivors’ communications and personal information is key to empowerment and supporting their safety. Because privacy is often critical to survivors’ safety and healing, federal and state legislatures and professional licensing bodies have created frameworks of laws and regulations that help protect the privacy of information victims share with these professionals. Applying these laws and regulations can be challenging when implementing policies within a single organization, and when agencies come together to collaborate, it can be even more complex.
Objectives: This interactive training, which uses hypothetical scenarios to help participants begin putting these ideas into practice, is designed to equip victim services agencies and other members of multi-disciplinary teams with foundational information to: understand legal and ethical confidentiality and privacy obligations governing service professionals, develop information-sharing norms, identify other select victims’ rights moments that arise in collaborations.
