Pathways to Permanence 2 Registration

Pathways Participant Acknowledgement re Use of Zoom for Pathways trainings

For security and confidentiality purposes the ACO is using Zoom for Pathways with the following parameters in place:

• • ACO will be using only paid Zoom subscription accounts which have a higher level of security (vs. free accounts).
  • All Pathways Zoom meetings will be set up using a link with a built-in password.
  • All Pathways Zoom meetings will be set up with a waiting room that the trainers will use to control entry of known Pathways participants. Trainers may choose to “lock” the rooms as well.
  • Zoom links will only be sent to participants after intake calls and not be posted publicly.
  • Zoom links are not to be shared with others.
  • Pathways sessions will not be recorded by the ACO or the trainers. Participants are not permitted to record the sessions or parts thereof.
  • Pathways participants should use a private space to take part in the Zoom Pathways sessions. No one other than participants should be present. This includes children.
  • The use of headphones by all participants is encouraged to protect the privacy of other participants and the discussions.
  • The use of participant video “on” is strongly encouraged to help us all build a sense of community among one another.

Despite establishing these parameters, ACO cannot guarantee 100% security and confidentiality through the Zoom platform and therefore participants should consider the extent of information they might want to share during the training. See more information on Zooms privacy and security here: Zoom's privacy & security webpage.

By participating in the Pathways training, participants are giving consent to share information within this understanding.

Please confirm that you have read this Participant Acknowledgement and are giving your consent to participate in the Pathways training within this understanding.
