She is 17 years old and has been struggling with school work most of her school life. She lived with her mother and stepfather up to a month ago when she ran away from the family home. Last week she was found unconscious outside a nightclub in the CBD by local police. The police took her to hospital where she was treated for a drug overdose and then they arranged a juvenile justice order to force her to undergo detox treatment in your community organisation. Jacky told the social worker at the hospital that she ran away from home because her stepfather had been sexually assaulting her since she was 12 years old. She has been homeless for the past month living in an empty warehouse with a group of squatters many of whom work as street sex workers in order to pay for a drug habit that she too has now developed.CHCCS500B Assessment 2 V2.0 CHCCS500B | Conduct complex assessment and referral Page 2 of 3 You are the caseworker responsible for conducting an intake assessment interview.
