Visitor Confidentiality Agreement
The purpose of this Template Visitor Confidentiality Agreement is to ensure that each visitor to a shelter, rape crisis center, transitional housing, family justice center or other victim service agency understands their confidentiality obligations and respects the privacy of clients, staff, and volunteers of the agency or colocated partnership. This can be used to address visits to or meetings with clients, staff, or volunteers whenever there are confidentiality obligations.
Organizations are welcome to adapt this template agreement to fit your needs and the work you do. You may change wording to match the language your agency or partnership prefers (e.g., survivor, client, victim, service participant). To adapt the template simply:
- add information relevant to your specific agency, program or partnership;
- insert or delete optional information as indicated in yellow.
- insert your [program/agency/partnership/collaboration names] and letterhead;
- remove generic template instruction notes and other notices from the top of the agreement.
