Receiving a subpoena is often an unsettling experience for social workers. Ignoring a subpoena may lead to contempt of court charges and personal liability, while complying with a subpoena may result in a breach of confidentiality and professional ethics, causing harm to your client.

This webinar is intended to demystify the legal rules surrounding subpoenas, identify the scope of a subpoena’s power, and explain the practical steps a social worker should take once they have received a subpoena. How to properly respond to a subpoena is essential knowledge to protect yourself, to protect the profession, and first and foremost to protect your clients.

Learning Objectives

• Know what a subpoena is, is not, and what information it contains
• Identify who sends a subpoena and why it is sent
• Know your options if you or your client do not want to disclose the information requested
• Become familiar with the idea of “privilege”
• Know the steps to take when you receive a subpoena
