Post a description of your legal and ethical responsibilities related to case management. With these responsibilities in mind, explain how you would address the legal/ethical scenario with your service user in Hart City. Also, consider how you would ensure the service user’s rights and dignity are protected while addressing the issue.
I have uploaded each scenario for the service user I am using for this assignment.
The upload that is saved under W1_Jada is the first scenario.

Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: I went to work, and my boss brought me into her office and told
me she had to let me go. She said she couldn’t have Malcolm coming in whenever he
wanted and making a scene. I don’t blame her, but I worked my ass off to get that
position. And now I have nothing.
Of course, Malcolm blames me for getting fired saying they must have found out about
the affair. Stupid. More fuel for him to use when he goes into a rage. I don’t see a way
out of this. Even if I wanted to, I can’t leave him now that I’m not working and making
money. Where would I go? How would I survive? I feel like just giving up.
