Family Services
Employee Assistance Program (FSEAP) provides employers with professional
information, counseling and referral services for their employees.
Confidentiality and the protection of privacy are critical
to the success of any Employee Assistance Program (EAP). FSEAP has established
policies
and procedures to ensure our compliance with privacy legislation and
professional ethics.
Protection of Privacy means:
-
FSEAP collects only the information
that is necessary for identification, or that is relevant to the
services provided.
-
All personal information is considered confidential and is
not discussed or disclosed unless required by law (as in the suspicion
of
child abuse or duty to warn regarding persons at imminent risk of physical
harm to themselves).
-
All clinical files and data are the sole property
of FSEAP and are stored in a secure location or on a secure server.
-
No
client files or data are released to anyone without consent from
the client, an agreement of confidentiality (for staff and third
party audits), or under court order.
-
FSEAP staff must adhere to strictly
enforced protocols for the protection of client privacy as a condition
of employment.
