Continuing in your role as a juvenile court probation officer and using the same client, Jennifer Scott, from the Week 2 assignment, examine ethical challenges that can impact supervision strategies by creating a 9- to 14-slide with written speaker notes in the notes section of each slide advocacy presentation that will be shown to the judge during a hearing on your client’s risk and needs.

- Discuss how advocacy can be used for this situation.
- Recommend actions that would lead to the desired change.
