Support Plan:
Overview:
In this situation, the researcher has tasked with developing a support strategy to help a mother defend herself against acts of violence her son may perform against her. The support plan is a tool used to list the services and providers' requirements and any other necessary information (Mencap, 2021). The support strategy must include information about the function, setting, and jurisdiction of the court, as well as the specifics of legal framework which the court can offer. Along with the preparedness of witnesses, the accessibility of support resources, and ethical concerns and reactions all need to be highlighted.

This is seen as a sizable number of cases, and if left unattended to, would have significant implications on both the victims' mental & physical health as well as on the nation. The domestic abuse court offer a variety of programmes to cope with these impacted family members, giving the victims relief from the pain they have experienced. These assistance may include problem-solving, ensuring the safety of the concerned children, protecting them from potential harm, and providing rehabilitation for the offender.
Legal Process Summary:
