Personal information concerning an individual’s disability cannot be released without written consent of the individual and must be managed in a manner that is consistent with Freedom of Information Guidelines and Personal Information Protection Guidelines, where appropriate. Where the accommodation process requires the release of confidential information to a third party (such as an external resource group), the third party, and any person or department delegated by that third party, will be required to ensure that confidentiality is protected, that the information obtained is kept in a secure location, and used solely for the purpose that the release was required.
