Briefly discuss the effects of a Level 0 response on a client
What will be an ideal response?
A Level 0 response may provoke client anger but pose few consequences for a social worker unless there are norms that clients must be treated respectfully in all circumstances. A Level 0 response does not convey empathy, make the circumstances worse, and make it unlikely that the client will consider the social worker's opinion. It greatly hinders further efforts to work with the client in a collaborative fashion.

What responsibility did Albert have to tell Carlos his concerns and possible options?
Albert Mendoza was a baccalaureate social work intern at Crime Victims Center, an agency serving crime victims. His client, Carlos Hernandez, was a Mexican immigrant who sought both financial assistance for medical care and counseling for his family after they were assaulted in their home. Carlos was unable to communicate in English, and Albert had difficulty with his limited Spanish language proficiency. Albert began to suspect that Carlos was in the country illegally. He worried that he didn’t know the law about services available to illegal immigrants, specifically the Crime Victim’s Compensation funds. The agency did not have another Spanish-speaking worker, and Albert, a new social work intern, had primary responsibility for the case.
