By choosing to consent to email and text message communication, CAFL and other members of your child’s team will be able to communicate more efficiently in order to provide the best service possible.  Thank you for taking the time to consider this as an option of communication.  We look forward to providing the highest level of quality service to your child and your family.

Sending personally identifiable information by e-mail or text has a number of risks of which you should be aware prior to giving your permission.  These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:  E-mails and texts can be forwarded and stored in electronic and paper format easily without prior knowledge of the parent; can be changed without the knowledge of the sender or receiver; can contain harmful viruses and other programs.  In addition, e-mail sent over the internet without encryption is not secure and can be intercepted by unknown third parties; back-up copies of e-mail may still exist even after the sender and receiver have deleted the messages; and employers and online service providers have a right to check e-mail sent through their systems.

Parental Acknowledgement and Agreement:  I acknowledge that I have read and understand the items above, which describe the inherent risks of using e-mail and text to communicate personally identifiable information.  By checking the box indicating either “I give consent”/”I do not give consent,” I either allow or deny permission for the members of my child’s team to share and exchange information including communicating personally identifiable information concerning my child using both electronic (unencrypted e-mail/text message) and non-electronic means with the individuals/ agencies indicated above.  I understand that this consent is subject to cancellation at any time.  This consent shall not be used for the release of confidential, HIV-related information without specified, additional consent.
