The agreement shall include the roles, responsibilities and rights of all parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>24) Maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality with all client and sponsor information unless release is required by law.<\/p>\n<p>25)\u00a0Have a clear agreement about how coaching information will be exchanged among coach, client and sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>26)\u00a0Have a clear agreement when acting as a coach, coach mentor, coaching supervisor or trainer, with both client and sponsor, student, mentee, or supervisee about the conditions under which confidentiality may not be maintained (e.g., illegal activity, pursuant to valid court order or subpoena; imminent or likely risk of danger to self or to others; etc.) and make sure both client and sponsor, student, mentee, or supervisee voluntarily and knowingly agree in writing to that limit of confidentiality. Where I reasonably believe that because one of the above circumstances is applicable, I may need to inform appropriate authorities.<\/p>\n<p>AND <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingfederation.org\/credentialing\/coaching-ethics\/icf-code-of-ethics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/coachingfederation.org\/credentialing\/coaching-ethics\/icf-code-of-ethics\/<\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Do I have to provide client records in case of subpoena or ethical complaint?<br \/>\nA: This will vary by country and jurisdiction, but generally, yes. Consider carefully what you put in your records.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Q: How long do I have to keep client records?<br \/>\nA: There is no ICF guideline at this time. You should check your local and national laws and regulations for compliance guidelines. If you are audited for income taxes, be sure to protect confidentiality.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How should I dispose of records?<br \/>\nA: To the best of your ability you should delete all online and electronic records, as well as shred paper records.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Is verbal permission for release of confidentiality acceptable or must I obtain it in writing?<br \/>\nA: It is more solid and irrefutable in writing.<\/p>\n<p>Q: The supervisor of my new client has a coaching outcome that he does not want the client to know about. I am being paid out of the supervisor\u2019s budget. May I keep this information from my client?<br \/>\nA: This sets up an ethical conflict. How can you coach someone without having clarity and an agreement about what is being coached? Whatever you put in your agreement that all three sign is what is acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Q: May I coach a business client who has some personal outcomes that are not shared with the sponsor?<br \/>\nA: Coaching for personal outcomes is an integral part of all professional coaching. Whatever is stated in the contract or agreement will govern what can be shared.<\/p>\n<p>How do you recommend it be handled?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coaching client\u2019s manager wants a full report on what is discussed during coaching sessions.\u00a0 They threaten to stop paying for the coaching unless they &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8516,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[470,471,16,40],"tags":[523,77,48,85,50,120,49,127,214,142,205],"class_list":["post-8515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaching-resources","category-coaching-skills","category-coaching-stories","category-tools-and-techniques","tag-accountable","tag-client","tag-coach","tag-coach-training","tag-coaching","tag-coaching-process","tag-code-of-ethics","tag-confidentiality","tag-ethical","tag-ethics","tag-icf","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The coach has completed their coach training and is a member of the ICF and accountable to the Code of Ethics\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"CCC Team\"\/>\n\t<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"confidentiality,ethical,ethics,coach,coach training,client,icf,accountable,code of ethics,coaching,coaching process,coaching resources,coaching skills,coaching stories,skills tools and techniques\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/confidentiality-what-do-you-think-ethical-challenges-series\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.8\" \/>\n\n\t\t<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=G-DSTWY60NTV\"><\/script>\n<script>\n  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}\n  gtag('js', new Date());\n\n  gtag('config', 'G-DSTWY60NTV');\n<\/script>\n\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"aioseo-schema\">\n\t\t\t{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.coachcert.com\\\/coachingblog\\\/confidentiality-what-do-you-think-ethical-challenges-series\\\/#article\",\"name\":\"Confidentiality What do you think?
