Referrals and Follow-up regarding Victims of Crime (4:XII)
Revision as of 00:15, 12 July 2016 by Desy Wahyuni (talk | contribs) (→British Columbia Centre for Elder Advocacy Support (BCCEAS))
If you refer the client to a lawyer, social service agency, or health professional, remember to follow up to ensure that the client is looked after. A simple phone call to the client should suffice. Should you need to consult with a professional (for instance, a psychiatrist) about a client’s ongoing case, you need to have the client sign a written release form authorizing you to collect information about them, or on their behalf. The referrals below are for more specific types of victims than the referrals at the beginning of the chapter:
