Confidencialidad de información del comité en Carolina del Sur

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que la información que recoge un comité es secreta, como un diario personal. Solo se puede compartir lo necesario para hacer su trabajo y no se puede hablar de las reuniones privadas.

Es como cuando tienes una caja de secretos en casa. Solo tú puedes abrirla y contar lo que hay dentro, pero si alguien ve la caja sin tu permiso, no puede decir lo que encontró.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que el Comité de Bienestar Infantil se reúne para discutir casos de niños en riesgo. María, una asistente, no puede contar lo que se habló en esa reunión a sus amigos, ya que la ley protege esa información para mantener la privacidad de las familias.
