Consideration should also be given to whether the reporting or disclosure restrictions will provide sufficient
protection from the risk, whether the safety of the parties in
cases where the court considers there are
particular physical or health risks against which reporting restrictions may be inadequate to afford
protection, and the extent to which the court should, of its own motion, take steps to protect the welfare of any vulnerable adult or
child who is unrepresented before the court.
The work responsibilities of the social worker includes writing assessments, conducting interviews to clients and their families to know the type of problem, providing counseling support, recommending best solutions ion
particular cases, coordinating and making referrals to different agencies, participating in meetings like
child protection seminars or mental health, maintaining records needed in preparation of legal action, guiding evidence to be used in court, helping clients through individual or group conferences, developing and implementing written materials for educational purposes, conducting workshops and providing psychiatric social work.
