Confidentiality and Mandated Reporting

Our counseling staff are here to support you in a safe and caring environment. We respect your privacy, and most of what you share with us is confidential, which means it stays between you and the counselor.

However, there are important exceptions. By law, school counselors are mandated reporters. This means we are required to contact authorities if we learn about situations where someone may be in danger or at risk, including:

  • Abuse or neglect (physical, emotional, or sexual)

  • Threats of serious harm to yourself or others

  • Other situations where a student’s safety is at risk

We share this information only with the people or agencies necessary to keep everyone safe. Our goal is to support you while making sure you and others are protected.

Under Massachusetts law, the following school and education staff are considered mandated reporters:

  • Teachers (public or private)

  • School administrators (principals, assistant principals, etc.)

  • School counselors, and adjustment counselors

  • School psychologists, clinical social workers, drug and alcoholism counselors

  • School nurses

  • School attendance officers, allied mental health and licensed human services professionals

  • Early education, preschool, and child care staff, including those in after-school programs or licensed child care facilities

These professionals are required by law to report any suspected child abuse, neglect, or situations that put a student at risk of serious harm.
