YOU CAN SHARE FLOWCHART OF KEY QUESTIONS FOR INFORMATION SHARING- Scenario MARAC: Request from Police - A woman with 2 children (14 and 9) has had three attendances at A &E over the last 2 months. The first was a fractured eye socket, second a burn to her arm and the third was a broken arm which she told A&E staff had been caused by her husband twisting it when he became angry with her. She says although he often gets angry with her he would never harm the children. The case is going to MARAC because she had recently revealed to a local domestic abuse organisation the fact that he had deliberately poured boiling water over her. She does not want anyone to know what has happened as it may affect his job as a head teacher. She has been told about confidentiality and has specifically stated that she doesn't want the health authority to share her information. YES Do you share relevant health info in the MARAC?

Forensic Services. Given this treatment is taking place as the result of another forensic process, there is a need to be aware of treatment within the forensic backdrop. Forensic Services are different from traditional psychotherapy. Whereas psychotherapy is a confidential exploration, discussion and mutually agreed upon plan for change, the same does not apply to forensic services. The forensic services may include interviews, contact with collaterals, observations, home and school visits, testing and other related services. Unlike traditional therapy, there should be no expectation of confidentiality in this process. Although the Appointee tries to be sensitive to therapeutic needs, at any time information may be provided to another individual within the guidelines of the Court's order. An example of such a provision from a standard Maricopa County appointment order is as follows: “There is no confidentiality relating to the parties’ communications with/to the Therapeutic Interventionist or concerning the Therapeutic Interventionist’s activities, treatment, referrals, data collection, or recommendations. This court order constitutes a complete waiver of doctor-patient privilege, as the Therapeutic Interventionist is appointed as the Court’s expert. Additional rules applicable to the Therapeutic Interventionist may be ordered by the Court from time to time.” Your commitment to the process is crucial and is demonstrated by your understanding and written agreement to the following. Please initial next to each provision indicating your understanding and approval of the particular provision.
