acquired from case reviews or be compelled to disclose such

information except:

1. When such information pertains to criminal acts or

violations of any law;

against the board.

Nothing in this act shall be construed to prohibit any board

member or staff member of such board from testifying in court

hearings concerning matters of adoption, child abuse, child neglect,

or matters pertaining to the welfare of children or from seeking

collaboration or consultation with professional colleagues and

administrative superiors on behalf of the child, parent or parents

of the child.

Any person participating in a judicial proceeding as a

postadjudication review board member shall be presumed prima facie

to be acting in good faith and in so doing shall be immune from any

civil liability that otherwise might be incurred or imposed.
