Kick off the school year by joining OSCA and Malcolm Scott from the Ontario School Board Insurance Exchange on Tuesday, September 24, for a webinar on the legalities of professional note-taking, tailored to Guidance Teacher-Counsellors in school settings. This 60-minute session will be especially important for those who are new to the role of school counselling, and a vital refresher for those who already have experience in the role.
There are situations where a Guidance Counsellor may be required to share the notes they make when counselling students. For example, if a student is a plaintiff in a lawsuit, their medical, employment, and educational records are evidence. Guidance counsellors in the current education climate provide more than just academic guidance, and because of their relationship with students, their records may be relevant to the lawsuit. This webinar will provide an overview of the legal requirements for note taking, how the records can be accessed and disclosed, as well as best practices. Register Here!
