I agree with the points from Scott, Christian, and you John that it is

In fact I think it's stronger. It's not just possible, it's virtually
certain that a persistent bad actor will be outed by gossip. And that
puts the privacy of the victim(s) at real risk.
My question to you though is what effect do you believe that observation
should have on our procedures? Are you suggesting that they should
not by default be confidential?
No. But maybe the lawyer should craft a phrase to avoid liability if
there is a leak.
