What should be communicated about records at intake regarding access?

Communicating about access to records at intake establishes client rights and the practical steps for exercising them. The best approach is to tell the client that they can receive copies of their records upon request, that the provider will respond within the applicable timeline, and that any sensitive information may be redacted when appropriate to protect privacy or safety. This supports informed consent, transparency, and ethical/legal compliance (including confidentiality standards and access rights). It also sets clear expectations so clients know how to obtain their information and what to expect during the process.
