ODVN – Confidentiality and Best Practices in Documenting Client Records

August 14, 2024 @ 9:00 am – August 15, 2024 @ 12:00 pm

Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network:

Confidentiality and Best Practices in Documenting Client Records

Proper documentation is essential when working with survivors of domestic violence. This one-and-one-half-day training assists advocates by providing a greater understanding of using trauma-informed principles in documentation. Attendees will learn where, why, and when to document and identify the risks of documenting too little or too much and the risks unique to custody cases.

Attendees will learn about best practices for informed releases of information and confidentiality provisions in VOCA, VAWA, and FVPSA. Other topics include managing external requests and protecting documentation when responding to subpoenas and file requests. Join ODVN trainers for this informative and engaging training featuring break-out sessions and role-plays.

This training is designed for both new and seasoned advocates.
