Assessment Details

The purpose of this assessment is for students to demonstrate their proficiency in specialised human services communications. This assessment task includes writing a case report based on a video case work interview; assessing the needs of two case study clients and creating a portfolio of support services for all three of them.

Context of assessment:
You are employed as a case manager at the Ballimore Community Centre (Appendix A)

Assessment tasks

Part A
You are to listen to the first case study example in Baker, S. (Producer/Director). (2018). Social Work Example Interview [video].

From this you are to fill out a client assessment form (Appendix B) using appropriate neutral and observational language to describe all relevant information including the client's situation, needs, goals and strengths.

Part B
For each of your case study clients, including the client from Part A above and case study 2 Aaron, and case study 3 Maria (outlined in Appendix C) you are required to undertake research into the key support needs facing them including work support, adolescent mental health and domestic family violence.

In undertaking this research, you will develop an understanding of the issues that your three (3) clients may experience. As evidence of your research, you are to complete a Support Service Information Sheet (Appendix D) for a minimum of three (3) support services you have identified as likely to assist your clients in resolving some of their issues. These services must be located within your local geographic area and attend to any cultural considerations relevant to client need.

NB. If you are undertaking this assessment from outside Australia your teacher will provide you with a relevant local area to research services in.

Make sure to:
paraphrase any support services you find online
use reporting verbs
describe the client's (in the video) situation
show evidence of any claims you make
