(a) A Chaplain may hold in confidence any information concerning a ward in his care which would be against the tenets of his religion to divulge. If a ward divulges or wishes to divulge information that concerns the safety of the ward, the safety of others, or the facility's security, the chaplain shall:

(1) Encourage the ward to discuss such information with the appropriate staff, and

(2) Obtain the ward's permission, if possible, to pass on such information.

(3) Notify the Superintendent immediately of any information that impacts the safety and/or security of an individual ward or of the facility, if to do so will not violate the Chaplain's religious tenets (such as sacramental confession or other penitential communication that the Chaplain is required to keep secret under the rules of his/her religious organization).
