Jeremiah has been provided with a comprehensive role and responsibilities statement and completed an internal induction program. He is concerned, however, that the compliance requirements he followed in the UK are different from the requirements outlined in Australian legislation and he is not familiar with some of the terminology. During Jeremiah’s first week on the job he is required to respond to a critical incident where a service user physically harassed and assaulted Sonia, a support worker employed by Jeremiah, during a home visit. Jeremiah must respond to the critical incident immediately.
