Adult Confidentiality Agreement

By signing this form, I agree to the following confidentiality guidelines:

I will not discuss or reveal any specific information about the cases that I will hear or work on when I am participating in the Teen Court project or when I am outside of the courtroom.

I will not reveal any offender’s name or any information about his/her case outside the courtroom, unless I am discussing the case with one of the other Teen Court adults or youth participants.

I understand that if I speak with other Teen Court adult participants or youth about the cases, it should be done in a private setting where no one else can hear the discussion.

I agree to encourage the student volunteers to behave in an appropriate manner that reflects the philosophy of the program and to help them understand and maintain the rules of confidentiality.

I understand that I am expected to set a positive example for the Teen Court youth and will model appropriate behavior accordingly.

I understand that if I fail to uphold the confidentiality agreement, I will be asked not to volunteer or attend future hearing sessions.
