Case study
Susannah's husband Andrew has found out that Joe has been offering lifts to Susannah and the children and has made a formal complaint to Joe's supervisor, Betsy. He has threatened to stop his wife and children attending the centre if Joe continues to work with Susannah.
Susannah has requested a female support worker, saying she would feel more comfortable and says her husband will allow her to continue attending the centre if she has a female support worker.
Jenny is appointed as Susannah's support worker. Susannah asks for some information about Domestic Family Violence (DFV) services in the local area.
She has also asked if she can come to Jenny's house if she feels unsafe in her own home at any time. Jenny has explained that she cannot offer Susannah accommodation in her house, but she can refer her to a women's refuge service if Susannah needs this.
1. Describe at least two ways Jenny can ensure she obtains legal, valid, informed consent from Susannah before making the referral to the women's refuge service.
2. What is the actual reason Jenny's supervisor would expect Jenny to tell Susannah she can't come to her house?
3. Why is it important for Joe to have continuing professional education?
