Family Violence Indicator. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 257.70 and federal law, the COUNTY and the Parties to this Cooperative Arrangement may not release information about the whereabouts of a person, if it has knowledge that a protective order with respect to the other party has been entered, or if the COUNTY has reason to believe that releasing the information might result in physical or emotional harm to the person about whom the information is sought. Child support workers are required to safeguard the privacy of said individuals by entering a safety concern indicator in PRISM. Protected information, which includes information stored in or accessed from the PRISM system, includes information about all case participants, including persons with privacy protection. The COUNTY and the Parties to this Cooperative Arrangement will explain the sensitive nature of the safety concern indicator to all personnel with access to case information and will comply with safeguards to protect the privacy of all parties, including individuals protected with a privacy protection indicator. Information about protected individuals may not be published, used, transmitted, or otherwise shared, without first removing all information about location, employment or other information identifying the whereabouts of the protected individual.
