Since confidentiality is the
cornerstone of all Behavioural
Management programs and, since the rule of client
confidentiality is also established under state and
federal law, the assurance of compliance with
confidentiality requirements is another key element of
Behavioural Management system.
Behavioural Management ensures client confidentiality
through a set of established clinical protocols and
systems which safeguard that no identifying information
about a Behavioural Management program participant is
released outside of our system unless the client has
given their specific written consent, or unless there is
a specific statutory requirement under applicable laws
governing reporting of child abuse, elder abuse, or an
active risk of violence to self or others.
To guarantee privacy, Behavioural Management client
records are maintained at all times in encrypted files,
by assigned code numbers, without names. We have also
developed appropriate Release of Information forms, as
well as specific training for clinical and administrative
staff to ensure that all staff comply with
confidentiality requirements.
