Frederick approaches Beryl, a new part time refuge worker. He confides in her how much he misses his father and how desperately he wants to see him, or even just talk to him. He persuades Beryl to let him use the phone in the office to contact his father. Beryl agrees as long as she remains in the office with him. Frederick blurts out the address of the refuge before Beryl can stop him. She realises she will be in trouble from her supervisor, so she doesn’t say anything to her.

Case study (questions 13–18)

Alice works in a women’s refuge. She has strong religious beliefs and is a supporter of the right to life movement. Imogen has been living at the refuge and is 10 weeks pregnant. She has decided that she wants a termination.

Alice has been asked by her manager to accompany Imogen to an appointment at a women’s health centre to discuss her options. The refuge has a policy that supports self-determination and empowerment, and uses person-centred approaches to service provision.

Alice’s job role description requires her to provide emotional and practical support and to encourage people to make decisions and take control of their own lives. Alice plans to take Imogen to a pregnancy counselling service which is run by an anti-abortion organisation before taking her to the women’s health centre.

Imogen has told Jasmine, one of the other refuge support workers, that Alice is going to take her to the anti-abortion pregnancy counselling service. She says that she is worried they will persuade her to change her mind about having a termination. She also says Alice has been leaving anti-abortion literature in her room and has also asked her to attend a religious service with her. Alice has also suggested referring Imogen for counselling. As there is a long waiting list for subsidised counselling services, Alice has offered to refer Imogen to her cousin, who is in private practice as a psychologist.

Case study (questions 19–21)

John works in a residential group home for adults with physical disability. The routine includes a weekly group outing for the residents. All residents must attend, as staffing levels do not provide for staff to remain at the group home to supervise residents who do not participate in the group outing.

Not all residents get their first choice of outing and John tries to make this a bit fairer by allowing residents to take it in turns to choose the outing each week, but residents are not happy with this.

John has discovered that the low levels of staffing in the group home have come about because the manager agreed to share his allocation of staff with another group home which is supervised by his fiancée.

John is aware that this is an ethical issue which impacts on service and practice standards.

CS Question 19	What are two indicators John can use to identify work practices that need to be improved?
