Confidentiality
Confidentiality is one of the most important, yet challenging aspects of domestic violence work.
In 2013, NMCADV received a grant from the CVRC to create a statewide Confidentiality Task Force to achieve the following:
clarify the respective rights and responsibilities of the above professional disciplines under federal and state law;
share examples of how those may conflict;
identify best practices where appropriate; and ultimately
produce a document that educates, explains and offers guidance going forward.
+ Training & Guides for Responding to Confidentiality Challenges
Recognizing that police officers and domestic violence advocates are very busy professionals, these tools are designed be easy to use, practical and helpful. The Task Force encourages you to distribute and use the materials as a basis for cross training and inter-agency policy development.
