Question 1
Which area-to-concern link is the most accurate for distinguishing Safety Planning and Risk
Management, Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and Legislation, Trial, Post-Trial, and Civil
Remedies, and Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue?
A. Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue — Navigating the legal and ethical limits of
confidentiality, particularly regarding safeguarding disclosures
B. Safety Planning and Risk Management — Developing personalized, practical, and realistic safety
plans tailored to the victim's daily life and changing circumstances
C. Trial, Post-Trial, and Civil Remedies — Recognizing the occupational hazards of frontline advocacy,
including secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and cumulative burnout
D. Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and Legislation — Explaining trial processes,
cross-examination dynamics, and giving evidence
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Safety Planning and Risk Management includes developing personalized, practical, and realistic safety
plans tailored to the victim's daily life and changing circumstances. A: The stated concern belongs most
directly with Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and Legislation, not Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and
Compassion Fatigue. C: The stated concern belongs most directly with Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and
Compassion Fatigue, not Trial, Post-Trial, and Civil Remedies. D: The stated concern belongs most
directly with Trial, Post-Trial, and Civil Remedies, not Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and
Legislation.
Question 2
A broad review includes Risk Identification and Assessment Methodologies and Safeguarding
Children and Young People, but the next question is specifically about Statutory safeguarding
frameworks, legislation, and guidance regarding children and young people at risk. Which focus
should be brought to the foreground?
A. Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue
B. Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and Legislation
C. Risk Identification and Assessment Methodologies
D. Safeguarding Children and Young People
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation:
Safeguarding Children and Young People includes statutory safeguarding frameworks, legislation, and
guidance regarding children and young people at risk. Risk Identification and Assessment
Methodologies includes identifying ongoing risks from perpetrators, repeat victimization, community
factors, and internal vulnerabilities. A: Vicarious Trauma, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue concerns
recognizing the occupational hazards of frontline advocacy, including secondary traumatic stress,
vicarious trauma, and cumulative burnout, rather than being the closest match for the concern in the
question. B: Confidentiality, Information Sharing, and Legislation concerns adhering to data protection
regulations (GDPR/Data Protection Act) and institutional confidentiality policies, rather than being the
closest match for the concern in the question. C: Risk Identification and Assessment Methodologies

A comparison of Supporting Survivors with Complex and Intersectional Needs and Pre-Trial and
Investigative Support needs one representative concern for each. Which pairing gives both sides

substance use/addictions)

cross-examination dynamics, and giving evidence | Pre-Trial and Investigative Support: Preparing
victims for court procedures, special measures applications, and familiarization visits
