Is my information confidential?

Yes. I will only keep a small amount of information about you purely for my own reference. This will not be shared with any other people (including health providers, family, or employers) unless you permit me to. Any information required for my personal research will be discussed with you first and your written consent obtained.

However, there are exceptions to the above that you need to be aware of:

1. There are times when I am compelled by law to provide information (e.g. the Mental Health Act, the Firearms Act, the Child Protection Act etc.).
2. There is an urgent safety reason that compels me to contact someone.
