Social Worker · Initial Assessment · First contact

A mother becomes defensive when you ask about her partner's access to the children.

You
"I hear that this feels intrusive. My job is to make sure the children are safe — and to understand who spends time with them is part of that. Can we talk through that together?"

Mother
"He's not here much. I don't see why he's relevant. You're treating me like I've done something wrong."

2.1 / 3 Good framing of purpose. Name her feeling explicitly before redirecting.
