Sample Solution

The organization felt we ought to act, there was an ethical issue here we could see something had to be done. Firstly, we spoken to Steven at length it was transparent he was not aware of any wrong doing he appeared very apologetic, we spoke about counselling as he has shown signs of aggression outside the complex on one occasion previously. He agreed for counselling sessions and to see if there were anything underpinning his aggression, it did however, transpire he was having marital issues at home with arguments on a regular basis, which brought out his aggression at the group with kellian, by his own admission he went on to say he wouldn’t off over re acted so harshly at the situation with kellian.
