of seeking a family violence protection order;

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 your role as a community service professional assisting the mother
in this matter. Include a description of how you would respond to the ethical
issues that you have identified. The format of your report will be discussed in
greater detail during tutorials.
