A Note About Confidentiality:
A counsellor is expected to be confidential and treat students as legal adults except in the following cases:

❖With student permission
-
❖If there is an imminent threat of harm to self or others
-
❖Reported child abuse
-
❖Court ordered disclosure
-
❖Professional consultation (not using name identifiers)
“Therefore the ideal counsellor will be something of a psychologist, but he will also be a sociologist, an economist, and, most of all, an educator in the best modern sense of the word.” (1918 Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education)
