Abstract

Paul thinks it's difficult if you have one worker and the worker gets sick one day. Michael says workers can help people with disabilities who have been abused by talking to them, helping them leave the bad situation, and assisting them to report the abuse to the police. Michael can't understand why Ann Marie would want only one worker to provide support. Michael says the disability organisation should have made sure that the worker Rosa did her job properly.
