ACES SCHOOL SOCIAL WORK

INFORMED CONSENT CONTRACT

Name of Student ______

Confidentiality: Please understand that all records, written information, or any electronic data are keptCONFIDENTIAL. All school social work services are confidential, except those required by law to report, which include the following:
-- threats of harm to another or oneself
-- domestic violence
-- child or elder abuse
-- by court order

The other exception would be when a signed release has been obtained to provide or receive information from another entity.
School social work services are focused on assisting with concerns and behaviors of a student that could impede their success. These may include individual sessions as well as group sessions, observations, collaboration with staff, and intervention strategies. You have the right to end this service at any time. The school social worker has a form available if you decide to discontinue this service. These services will continue until revoked by the parent or discontinued by the school.

As a social worker, I participate in case consultations and supervision in accordance with accepted professional behavior.
In counseling children or adolescents, confidentiality is a necessity; as much as possible, in order for the therapeutic process to work. While you as parent or guardian have a legal right to information, I will speak with you in a general way unless there is a danger to the child’s life. This is conveyed to the child as well.

Permission to treat: I acknowledge that it is my choice to have my child participate in school social work services.

Your signature acknowledges agreement and understanding. Please feel free to contact the social worker regarding any questions or concerns you may have.
