Part 1: Documentation, Disclosures, & Confidentiality for Supervised Visitation Programs

Recording:

Federally funded supervised visitation and safe exchange programs are in a unique position because:

they work closely with both victims and perpetrators of abuse
they aren’t an arm of the court but are routinely asked to give reports in cases
they practice respect for parents and children but must enforce boundaries to promote safety and prevent harm.

This unique position means that supervised visitation and safe exchange programs must make thoughtful decisions about what information they collect and document, when and how they disclose information, and when they are legally required to refuse to disclose information.

In this recorded webinar, join experienced strategist and trial attorney Alicia L. Aiken, JD, as we clarify the concepts of privacy, confidentiality, and privilege law; discuss best practices for creating documentation and disclosure policies; and explore the complicated questions that can come up specifically for visitation and exchange programs.
