Assignment Task:
Joe works in a community centre where Susannah attends English language classes. She has three children who attend a play group at the centre. Joe has noticed that Susannah has bruises on her face and arms and that two of the children have bruises on the backs of their legs.
Joe is concerned about Susannah and her children. He is finding it hard to sleep at night and is staying back at the community centre after his shift finishes so that he can spend a few minutes talking to Susannah. He has offered to drive her home and to pick her and the children up in the morning. Joe has also approached a police officer who is a friend of his and told him about his concerns. He has given the police officer Susannah's address and asked him to drive past her house and check on her welfare.
Describe the specific information Joe should check to identify the scope of his legal responsibilities.
Describe three (3) ways that Joe has breached his work role boundaries as well as the legal and ethical requirements of his role.
How should Joe address his concerns while working within the boundaries of his professional role, legal requirements and his organisation's policies and procedures?
