Module 14: Ethics, Confidentiality, and Cultural Humility ยท Lesson 2 of 3

Small communities and smartphones create constant overlap.

Overlap is often unavoidable in the neighborhoods you serve. Disclose it, document it, and plan for it with your supervisor rather than pretending it does not exist.

Use agency-approved communication channels only. Personal social media contact, personal phone numbers, and unencrypted photos of documents are common and serious errors.

Key takeaways

  • Disclose unavoidable overlap early
  • Agency channels only, no exceptions
