Volunteer Confidentiality -
I have discussed and understand the need to protect the privacy of Jewish Social Services of Madison (JSS) and its service
recipients, and agree to respect the confidentiality of all client information that I observe and am privy to as a volunteer of
JSS. All information regarding individuals is to be kept within the confines of JSS, its programs and/or facilities. Client
information is to be discussed only with JSS social service staff. Additionally, confidential health information is to
include all information past, present or future that may reveal something about the individuals' physical and/or mental
health.
In the event of an emergency I should call 911.
If I observe anything regarding a JSS client that concerns me, this confidentiality agreement requires that I report it as
soon as possible to the social service staff at 608-278-1808, during office hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00-5:00).
Confidentiality extends to all public relations material. Volunteers may not discuss JSS clients with any form of media,
without prior approval of JSS. The information in Jewish Social Services volunteer records is to be discussed only with
JSS social service staff.

Photographic Release, Information Release, and Parental Permission - I have received permission from my parents to provide my personal information,
