Confidentiality and Privacy are one of the core Ethical Standards that we must uphold through the NASW Code of Ethics.
Confidentiality in Social Work Practice not only guides the work that we do with children, youth and families in direct practice, but also guides how we handle information shared with 3rd parties and client records.
