As the Wenwet (Priesthood) of Per Ankh, we respect the integrity and protect the welfare of all persons with whom we are working spiritually. We have a duty maintain confidentiality and are obliged to safeguard information about them that has been obtained in the course of a spiritual counseling or divination process.
- if specified by Temple policy among highest ranks of the Priesthood, as mandated by law;
- to prevent a clear and immediate danger to someone;
- in the course of a civil, criminal, or disciplinary action arising from the counseling where the Priest is a defendant;
- for purposes of supervision or consultation;
- by previously obtained written permission.
A. All records kept on a member are stored or disposed of in a manner that assures confidentiality and security.
B. We treat all communications from members with professional confidence, if so requested.
C. We use only the first names of our clients when engaged in supervision or consultation, except in those situations where the identity of the client is necessary to the understanding of the case. It is our responsibility to convey the importance of confidentiality to the supervisor or consultant; this is particularly important when the supervision is shared by other professionals, as in a supervisory group.
DO we REALLY need part C?
D. We do not disclose member confidences to anyone, except:
In cases involving more than one person (as client or student) written permission must be obtained from all legally accountable persons who have been present during the counseling before any disclosure can be made.
E. We obtain informed written consent from a member before sharing a transcript, or other records of conversations, had in the context of confidentiality, or permitting third party observation of same.
F. We do not use these standards of confidentiality to avoid intervention when it is necessary, e.g., when there is evidence of abuse of minors, the elderly, the disabled, the physically or mentally incompetent.
G. When current or former clients are referred to in a publication, while teaching or in any online or public presentation, their identity is thoroughly disguised.
DO we REALLY need part G?
