Confidentiality Note:

Any information send via e-mail

must be password protected.

DO NOT insert the document inside the e-mail body. Instead, save the document to your

hard drive with a password, and THEN

attach the document to the e-mail.

 

Also, any confidential information stored electronically (e.g. month-end reports, Incident Reports, etc.) on your personal computer, must be protected from unauthorized access (i.e. security codes, firewall, passwords).

How to password protect an MS-WORD document:

With the document open, click on 'save as' and then 'tools'. In the drop down box click 'save options' or maybe 'security options' (depending on which version you own). In that box enter a 'password to open' (provided by the agency) and a 'password to edit' (enter your own personal password here) in the appropriate box.

 

Contact the agency for a password to use to secure the document.
