All Health Services records are
confidential. Safeguarding students’ medical
information is not only a legal requirement, but also
an important ethical obligation. No one will have
access to health records without the written consent
of the student, including their parents/guardians,
if the student is of legal age (18 years or older).
Information from a student’s health record will
not be disclosed except in cases of extreme urgency
where there is an obvious “need to know”,
such as in cases of injury to themselves or others
or as required by law. Students have the right to
access their personally identifiable medical files
and have the right to correct or remove any inaccurate,
irrelevant or out-of-date information.
