Relevant Law

A range of measure can be legally utilized for the right to access the law and legal system of the Australian citizens. In this context, the legal action that can be taken in this case where one of the children in suffering from Intellectual impairment and as Yasser does not have the capability to understand and make their own judgment. Legal order can be sought to enable the social worker to make financial and other decision making on their behalf. The guardianship Act 1987 that emphasis on the incapability of making any decision and can use Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 for restricting the children to do anything that the parent could do (Domesticviolence.nsw.gov.au. 2018).

In this context, the following strategies need to be taken up being a social worker:

• the social workeris required to set up a provision for direct counselling of the Yasser, Fatima, and the parents of the children as a part of wider sense of responsibilities.
• The social worker can also serve as liaisonbetween the Police department and the agency for social work for supporting Yaseer and  
• The worker could collaborate with the health care providers to ensure the wellness.
• As stated by Bakker (2015), the social worker can also address legal factors such as supporting them financially as well as emotionally in court hearing and offering testimony associated with the children and their parents.
• The social worker also is required to conduct research, development of policy and advocacy for the services for maintaining the case history recordsof the issue for future purpose.

The Honorable Court needs to be informed about the condition of Fatim and Yassar, the minor children of Yasmin and Hassan Yusrat who has been identified as vulnerable due to the adverse family situation they are going through. The father being detained for unlawful immigration is yet to receive a lawful refugee status while mother is working immensely hard to run the family. The ambience at their home is undoubtedly not healthy presently. The minor boy, Yassar has been claimed as intellectually disable by the medical practitioner and the minor girl, Fatima has been a prey of the adverse and unhealthy situation at home. Her verbal aggressive conduct has forced the police department to issue an Interim Apprehended Violence Order against Fatima. The conduct of the minors can be deduced based on the following issues, legal and social that they are passing through:

• The unlawful immigrant status of Hassan, the father affects the family as a whole. The temperament of Hassan does not seem to be normal and appropriate for the children.
• The financial situation of the family does not seem to be appropriate for the children to live a comfortable life, as Yasmin is the only breadwinner.
• The intellectual disability of Yassar affects Yasmin, his mother and Fatima, his minor sister. Special attention is required for him immediately.
• Fatima is facing a severe issue of insecurity at her home as firstly for being beaten up by her mentally disabled brother and secondly for the speculation of her marriage at the age of 14, which is unacceptable and illegal.
• It can be speculated that the signs of physical abuse on Yasmin, Fatima and Yassar are an example of the aggressive temperament of Hassan as the situation at home was fine before Hassan’s arrival from detention home.

Therefore, as a social help, it is recommended that the Court should order the Province to take up the responsibility of care and security of the minors until the situation at their home improves or they attend the age of maturity, whichever is earlier.

2. a) For several aboriginal and indigenous families, there is a complicated debate hailing over the constitution that seems to be a world away. Constitutional recognition should have fixed the issues of aboriginal people and should have treated them with amity and kindness. However, Axleby and Wanganeen(2018) states that the rights within the constitutional recognition has not been respected. The reform needed to ensure that the people were treated reasonably in their future so that all the Australian could move forward together with happiness (Brennan 2018). It can be agreed upon that most of the aboriginal people would like have a treaty with the Australian government to protect them other than constitutional recognition. This is because putting the people under constitutional change will only bring laws for this people. According to Milman (2018), negotiation and treaty is major things that is necessary to solve the big gap present in Australia.

b) The over incarceration of Aboriginal people represents that more people of Aboriginal culture commits crime. The concept is a major played is by the factors of colonialism and racism. Therefore, the concept is wrong as the evidence shows that Aboriginal people are more seen to be searched for drugs and are arrested for whether they have drugs. The conservative estimation shows that almost 30to 50% of the people in the system of criminal justice suffer from hepatitis C (McCormack 2018).

That shows that a huge number of people are imprisoned and arrested for drug associated crimes who inject drugs but have denied to access the injecting equipment. Anecdotal evidence shows that the police than the non-Aboriginal user of drugs heavily charge Aboriginal people utilizing the drugs. Therefore, it cannot be agreed that aboriginal people incarceration due to the commitment of crime, it is the consequence of racial stereotypes.

c) Child abuse and neglect of the children within the Indigenous communities cannot evaluated or addressed. However, measures centered on the community based responses that empowers the requirement of the indigenous Australian. However, appropriate statistics about the instances of child abuse and other family related violence within aboriginal communities are not sufficient (Ireland 2018).  The gap report suggest that there are almost 9,070 indigenous children were out of home car.

It is due to the child abuses and neglect that the children leaves home. It has been seen that almost 35% of children are removed from their families as a result of which the generations are being stolen from them and is leading to intervention (Behrendt 2018).  Children being separated from their families are forced to adjust with the white culture often becomes difficult for them while speaking. Most of the children are placed under different institutions through intervention where neglect and abuse are common. The families as well as the children who are taken away from the family feel the adverse impact of these issues, highly.  The forced children due to their stolen generation often develops a substantial depression and trauma for their families.
