Hi all, i'm a bit stuck on this one. first off the girl is under age, and in care. This should be reported right? Or have i got a duty of care for confidentiality? Help please?
Case study/Scenario 9 (CS9)
A young female aged 15 years comes into the youth agency where you work, demanding to see you. She seems very anxious and tells you that she had sex for the first time last night while at a barbecue on the beach and is now really worried that she might have a sexually transmitted infection or be pregnant. This young person is already a client of your service and has taken part in other agency programs. From your previous involvement with this girl, you are aware that she is under the care of the Department of Child Safety and is currently staying in a local youth refuge/shelter after her foster home placement broke down.
Specify any legal, procedural or ethical issues you would need to take into account when responding to this young person’s needs.
