safety of an alleged victim. Results: This presentation should assist the social worker with the tools necessary to investigate a situation, describe it’s origins (abuse, neglect or exploitation), and recommend ways to work effectively with a victim and care provider to decrease such situations in the future. Conclusions: In conclusion, the relevance of this presentation to conference attendees is that it assists professionals involved with techniques, ideas and tips on assessing a situation and involving an entire community network to insure the safety of an alleged victim if that is what is required. This presentation involves the interpretation of an alleged victim’s reality and that it is okay to step out of our own reality in order to better understand what is occurring so we can help.
