SPAN’s Confidentiality Policy

SPAN’s Confidentiality Policy is designed to safeguard sensitive information about the families we serve. The protection and handling of confidential information received from families is vital to the work of the entire organization. Individuals with access to confidential information are required to maintain confidentiality and exercise caution when discussing sensitive matters or handling physical and digital documents. Access to confidential information is limited to individuals with a clear “need to know” or who require it to assist the family or perform their job duties.

Sharing or disclosing confidential information to unauthorized parties is prohibited. Any information about families is released to outside sources only with the written consent of the family, or when authorized by the Executive Director, and as required by law¹.

¹Pursuant to our contracts with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the N.J. Departments of Education, Health and Senior Services, and Human Services, SPAN Board members, staff, and volunteers are subject to the provisions of HIPAA and FERPA. Updated 2024

Accessibility in Technology

The people who work at SPAN are not just advocates by profession—everyone on our team has a personal stake in the disability community as a parent, sibling, spouse, or otherwise. In compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, we try to make our website as accessible as possible, less any undue burden that would be imposed on us. Compliance is an ongoing process on such an active site. If anyone has difficulty accessing our website information and resources, we encourage you to reach out to us directly so that we can improve our efforts to accommodate our audience.
