Scenario description
Ethan has just turned 17 and has been living with his mother and stepfather since he was 10.
Since the age of 15, Ethan has been experiencing various forms of emotional and psychological
abuse from his stepfather. The abusive behaviours include manipulation, threats, verbal
assaults, coercion, and constant criticism, all of which have severely undermined his selfesteem and are currently impacting his mental health. As a community service worker
supporting Ethan, you are seeking a court order to protect him from further potential family
violence at home.
You are required to investigate court and relevant support services that apply to your local
jurisdiction and submit a written Support Plan for your client (i.e., the 17-year-old son), which
must include the following:
a. The location and role of the local court in the context of seeking a family violence
protection order.
b. A summary of the legal process as it relates to protecting the adult son from family
violence by order of the court.
c. An overview of the local support services available in connection with the court and
external to the court that would assist your client.
d. An explanation of how you (as the community service worker) would prepare if you
received a subpoena to both submit your file notes and attend court as a witness in this
case.
e. Identify and discuss two ethical issues that could arise for you in yo
you in your role as a
community service professional assisting the adult son in this matter. Include a
description of how you would respond to the ethical issues that you have identified.
Jurisdiction-specific context

and apply the framework of services and arrangements involving the departmental, legislative,
court, tribunal and administrative structures that operate in and apply to a specific jurisdiction
(i.e., State or Territory in which you reside). This will have broader relevance and applicability
to your field placement and other client-relevant contexts.
Research literature
Your essay must be based on a review of the literature and should include at least five primary
academic references, i.e., peer-reviewed (scholarly) journal articles or book chapters.
