Confidentiality

CONFIDENTIALITY

Children deserve more than our care—they deserve our respect. Yet even the most well-meaning efforts to raise awareness or support can unintentionally harm a child’s sense of dignity, privacy, or safety.

This course helps you and your organization reflect deeply and act wisely when it comes to confidentiality. From how we tell stories to how we store images, you’ll learn how to protect the children and families you serve by ensuring they are never used as a means to an end.

Whether you’re sharing a social post, training a volunteer, or building a donor newsletter, this course will help you do so with wisdom, ethics, and honor.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

• A clear understanding of the ethical and practical risks tied to sharing stories and images
• A step-by-step process for identifying risks and developing a confidentiality strategy
• Tools to train staff, volunteers, and partners on responsible communication
• Editable templates for reporting, policy development, and consent
• A CAFO Certificate of Completion to demonstrate your learning
