Confidentiality & Conflict of Interest

The success of our volunteer program depends very much on our ability to keep confidences and remain impartial. Maintaining confidences and avoiding conflicts of interest are required of all who volunteer at Caprock Academy. While not all volunteering involves activities of a confidential nature, matters of confidentiality and potential conflicts of interest can arise at any time when a volunteer may be present. Therefore, volunteers are expected to maintain confidentiality at all times.  Any discussions regarding confidential information will be only in settings where such confidences can be maintained and not jeopardized.
