Record Keeping

All agencies create, maintain, and share information about the children and families with whom they work. Confidentiality of children’s records is protected by laws passed by the Virginia legislature; however, different agencies are bound by different laws and may have different policies and procedures. The following section is organized by agency, and includes answers to questions about how each agency keeps information, allows parents to see and get copies of the information, and shares information with other agencies or individuals.
