Question: Discuss about the Office of Australian Information Commissioner. Answer: Introduction: Aggression can be a symptom some underlying reasons. It is polymorphic and is common in many children suffering from psychiatric or medical problems or due to life circumstances (Katz et al., 2012). The case study reveals that Jimmy shows abnormal and aggressive behavior, which is may be because they have challenges while dealing with anxiety or frustration and cannot easily verbalize or express their feelings. This can be because of bullying at school, negligence and lack of affection from the parents, just as in case of Jimmy. Jimmy had always been the victim of verbal abuse from his father for being an accidental or unwanted child. In order to obtain information regarding Jimmy's conduct or behavior, school can be an academically sound resource for gathering information as the educator and Jimmys peers can throw light upon certain facts which cannot be obtained from their parents. Any information regarding the conduct of Mr. Mcleod and his family situations can be got from the neighbors. The counselor have to be realistic to understand or speculate the reasons behind the problem arising, hence an initial meeting will be arranged with the family (Katz et al., 2012). There are certain things that have to be taken in to consideration. Preparatory activity for interviewing the respondents other than the McCleods family It is necessary to review the history or the family background of the McCLeod's family and make a questionnaire accordingly. Certain factors should be considered while planning a first meeting. Such as the time and the place should be as per the convenience of the respondents, as it cannot be possible for a client to compromise their day's work for meeting a social worker, during his working hours, in that case telephone survey can be used (Trier-Bieniek, 2012) Probable questions:- How do you know Mcleod? Do you know Jim? Can you give us an account of Jimmy? How does he get along with his parents? Tell me something about Mr. McLeod? How does he get along with his kids? Is the family well behaved? How do they treat Jimmy? How does Jimmy treat his brothers? Have you ever seen Jimmy behaving violently? How would you scale it? Does he always behave like this? Have you ever seen Mr. McLeod abusing Jimmy, physically? Engagement The interview shall be done in a hostile environment for building the rapport. Both open ended and closed ended questions can be done depending upon the psychological status of the respondent (Katz et al., 2012). The counselor should also asses the respondents perception regarding child abuse as that would influence the responses. All the questions should be unbiased (Geldard et al., 2013). Informed consent is necessary before the conduction of any such interviews ("Privacy law|ffice of the Australian Information Commissioner - OAIC", 2018). The respondents should be well aware of the reasons for the interview and all the laws and the norms related to child abuse and how they are applicable to Jimmy. Disclosure of the interviewee is prohibited as per the legislation unless demanded by special cases or court trials (Graycar, 2012). The privacy and the confidentiality of the respondents information are protected by legislation by Common wealth privacy act 1988. Any questions that may give psychological stress to the interviewee should be altered. The counselor should be aware of the guidelines established by the Child Care and protection Act, 2009 ("Child Welfare Act 2009 )". Since information should be collected from the sources like schools, neighbors and friends, without informing The McLeod's family, there might be breaching of some ethics, but the interest and the safety of the child should be given the first priority.
