Student Placement Form

Principles:
Confidentiality of all client details, records, circumstances and information is to be strictly maintained at all times during fieldwork. Students must agree to abide by these confidentiality requirements when they sign the Calm and Connected Confidentiality Agreement prior to commencing fieldwork.

The following issues related to confidentiality must be considered but are not limited to:
- No documents or copies of documents with identifying information should be taken from the fieldwork facility.
- Students must never read or discuss any information relating to their relatives or friends who may be receiving services from that facility.
- Students must never discuss with clients, information that is not relevant to the current scope of the professional relationship including details about other clients, staff, students or workplace information.
- Students must never talk about clients outside of the fieldwork facility in any way that may allow the client to be identified.
- Students should be mindful in their use of social networking sites (eg Facebook) and public forums not to relay information that may impact on the reputation of fellow students, supervisors, and staff members, Calm and Connected and partner organisations.
- Student forums and discussion groups, workshops and tutorials are considered to be ‘public forums’. If situations or experiences of the fieldwork are to be discussed in these sessions, it is appropriate to avoid identifying information.
- Students must never agree with the client to keep confidential information from their supervisors or other team members, which may affect the professional relationship, therapeutic intervention or other circumstances of the fieldwork.

This Agreement of Confidentiality continues after the fieldwork has been completed.

Calm and Connected's Policies and Guidelines
Calm and Connected maintains the tenets of professional confidentiality and observes the requirements of the Privacy Act. All other relevant policies can be viewed upon request from your supervisor. You will be asked to read all relevant policies and procedures during the term of your placement.

Privacy Policy
According to the Federal Privacy Act 1988, Calm and Connected is required to maintain confidential records according to standard practices. To that end, the Calm and Connected has developed a confidentiality policy, which contains the following key provisions:
Record Keeping
- Each Service maintains records on all clients in keeping with normal standards of professional accountability.
- These records are not accessible to any person outside the particular Service.
Release of Information
- Information about a client may be released to parties outside a Service only with the explicit consent of the client. Release of information will normally require a written consent to disclosure signed by the client. Verbal agreement may be accepted only when both client and staff member agree that the circumstances do not require the formality of a written agreement.
Limits of Confidentiality
Information may be disclosed without the consent of a client when:
- There exists a clear danger to the client or to others
- There exists a legal obligation to do so.
- Legal obligation includes such circumstances as a court subpoena, a valid search warrant, or such other legislated requirements that may be in force at any given time.
