This is actually really interesting then if she is seen as a part of staff. Idk the legality of that though. On pg 7 though it talks about individuals who don't need to report and in there it does mention factuly of the medical department unless the case is non-confidential which this case may fit that circumstance. I still would say we need to be on the side of caution before saying that she HAD to, by law, tell someone.
The general rules of confidentiality for health care providers are limited to disclosures made during the course of and for the purposes of providing/receiving treatment. IIRC, the victim claimed she sent photos of her injuries to Mrs. Meyer so it seems very, very unlikely to me that any duty of confidentiality is applicable to the facts before us.
