Jamilla, a community services worker, is transporting three young people with intellectual disabilities to a lifestyle support program.  When the worker gets into the car, she asks her clients to put on their seatbelts before she starts off on her journey.  A kangaroo jumps in front of the car and the worker slams on the brakes. One of the clients in the rear of the vehicle, Ellie, is thrown around the cabin area and she sustains serious injuries. Ellie was not wearing her seatbelt. Nisha, of the other clients, says that Ellie didn’t put her seatbelt on when she was asked to – she seemed to be distracted by something outside when the carer gave the seat belt instruction.  : Has Jamilla breached her duty of care? Explain your answer. 2. There is a strange smell lurking around a clinic’s client waiting room. Clients waiting for their appointments have been commenting that the room smells like gas.The workplace safety officer, Rashad, walks into the waiting room and notices the smell immediately.  Rashad says to the receptionist, ‘Can you not smell the gas? There must be a gas leak in here somewhere’.The receptionist, Mara, replies, ‘Yes, I smelled it when I came in this morning and all the clients have been complaining. It’s lucky you came in – can you fix it?’Rashad is shocked at Mara’s lack of action. ‘Why didn’t you report it straight away? It could have been dangerous!”That’s not my responsibility’, Mara replies. ‘You are the safety officer, not me – I’m just responsible for reception.’ : Do you agree with Mara that she wasn’t responsible?
