Which organization produced the position statement on confidentiality?

• A. APA
• B. NASW Commission on Education
• C. AASW
• D. CSWE

Answer: (B)

Confidentiality guidance in social work education comes from the NASW Commission on Education. This body focuses on setting and communicating standards for how students, educators, and field supervisors handle private information within classroom and practicum settings. They translate the broader ethical commitments of the field into specific guidance for social work education, including how to protect client and student information, when disclosures are permissible, and how to manage records in educational contexts. The other organizations operate in different spheres: the APA is a psychology organization, AASW is the Australian association of social workers, and CSWE concentrates on accreditation standards for social work programs rather than issuing NASW’s confidentiality statements.
