HRS §467E-15
Social workers' talks with clients are kept private
This law says that what you tell a licensed clinical social worker is private, just like what you tell a psychologist. The same privacy rules from the Hawaii Rules of Evidence apply. This means your conversations are protected from being shared in court without your permission.
The statute, as written — Privileged communication
Communications between licensed clinical social workers and their clients shall be treated in the same manner as provided for psychologist-client privilege under rule 504.1 of the Hawaii Rules of Evidence.
