C-26, r. 207.2.01 - Code of ethics of psychoeducators

Section 19
Disposition versions

Full text
19. In addition to the cases provided for in section 18, psychoeducators may communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where they have reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons.
Despite the foregoing, psychoeducators may only communicate the information to a person exposed to the danger or that person’s representative, or to the persons who can come to that person’s aid.
Psychoeducators may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
