Confidentiality Laws

Confidentiality laws in the context of bullying and harassment protect the privacy of individuals involved in incidents, such as victims, witnesses, and those reporting the behavior. These laws ensure that their identities and personal details are kept private to encourage reporting without fear of retaliation or stigma. Organizations must handle complaints sensitively, sharing information only with necessary parties involved in the investigation. This helps create a safe environment where individuals can speak up about bullying and harassment, knowing their information will be safeguarded.
