Scenario 1 You are a caseworker at a Indigo Community and health hub that provides support services to families in your community. You’ve been scheduled for a home visit with Sarah Jones, a single mother of two, to assess her request for assistance with childcare and budgeting. Upon arrival at the house, you’re greeted by Sarah, who appears visibly stressed and overwhelmed. The house itself is cluttered, with toys scattered around and dirty dishes piled in the sink. As you enter the living room, you notice 12-year-old Chloe, Sarah’s daughter, slumped on the couch watching TV. Chloe appears lethargic and pale, with dark circles under her eyes. Detailed Observations: Sarah: During your conversation with Sarah, she expresses her financial struggles. She recently lost her job and is having difficulty making ends meet. She admits to feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, juggling multiple part-time jobs to keep up with rent and basic necessities. Chloe: When you attempt to engage with Chloe, she seems withdrawn and unresponsive. She mentions feeling tired all the time and admits to frequently skipping meals because there isn’t enough food in the house. You notice her clothes are ill-fitting and appear dirty. Living Conditions: As you explore the house further, you observe several safety hazards. Exposed electrical wiring is visible behind a bookshelf, and overflowing ashtrays are scattered around the living room. The kitchen appears cluttered and unhygienic, with a lack of fresh food in the refrigerator. Emotional State: During a private conversation with Chloe, she reveals her anxieties about being home alone at night while Sarah works. She expresses fear of strangers and worries about her mother’s well-being due to the constant stress she experiences. Additional Details: This is your first home visit with Sarah and Chloe. Sarah mentions she has an older son, but he is currently away at but does not say where. You suspect there might be underlying mental health concerns for Sarah that contribute to the overall situation. Scenario 2 You are a youth worker at Indigo community services and health service that provides after-school programs and support services for young people aged 10-18. During a casual conversation with a 10-year-old boy named Ethan, you pick up on some concerning hints about his home life. During a recent arts and crafts session at the program, you notice 10-year-old Ethan sitting alone, picking at his worn-out shoelace. He seems withdrawn and avoids eye contact with other participants. Later, during a casual game of pool, Ethan approaches you hesitantly. He asks if he can talk to you privately. You take him to a quiet corner of the room and offer him a seat. Ethan fidgets nervously and lowers his voice. He confides in you that things haven’t been good at home lately. His parents, Sarah and Mark, argue constantly, sometimes yelling and slamming doors. He describes these arguments as “scary” and admits feeling unsafe during those times. Ethan often retreats to his room to avoid the noise, but even there, he can hear their raised voices. As he speaks, you notice Ethan’s clothes. They seem ill-fitting and appear unwashed. He mentions that he doesn’t have many clean clothes because the washing machine broke down a while ago, and his parents haven’t had the money to fix it. Ethan also mentions that he often feels hungry at home. He sometimes skips breakfast because there isn’t enough food, and his parents are usually too busy arguing to prepare dinner. He seems particularly eager to take extra snacks during the after-school program’s snack time. Q1. Identify three (3) ways to uphold the rights of children and young people in this scenario. Q2.
