Confidentiality, Privacy, and Retaliation Protections
This lesson explains how confidentiality is protected in reports and investigations, who can access information, and protections against retaliation.
Confidentiality principles
Reports and investigations protect the identity of targets and witnesses to the extent possible while ensuring a fair process.
Access controls
Only designated personnel have access to case information. Data is stored securely and in compliance with privacy laws and organizational policy.
Non-retaliation commitments
Retaliation is prohibited. Any retaliation should be reported immediately and addressed with appropriate sanctions according to policy.
Supporting confidentiality during interviews
During interviews, interviewers explain the purpose, limit who is present, and document consent and disclosures to protect privacy.
