In this edition DCS Talks to Sammi Maifair the Senior Associate Counsel at DCS and Lindsay Coleman the Director of Permanency Planning in the Office of Child Programs about confidentiality and building teams with families. Children, youth and families involved with DCS have the right to the privacy of their records and personal information. DCS has a coordinated system of policies and practices in place that guide confidential information sharing throughout the policies that are in DCS Chapter 31 which are on the DCS public website and available for all citizens. Recently, DCS leadership and staff took a deeper look into ways to maintain confidentiality and Ms. Maifair and Ms. Coleman discuss the analysis.
