Care workers handle sensitive personal, health, and service information as part of their daily responsibilities. Poor documentation, inappropriate conversations, unsecured records, or careless information sharing can breach confidentiality, reduce trust, and expose individuals and organizations to privacy, legal, and operational risks.
The Handling Information in Care course explains privacy and confidentiality principles, Canadian privacy responsibilities, safe information collection, accurate care documentation, appropriate workplace communication, paper and digital record protection, privacy breach recognition, and practical prevention measures.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to handle care information responsibly, maintain accurate records, communicate confidential information safely, recognize privacy risks, and respond appropriately to potential breaches. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
