Code of Ethics

My agency works with new parents by helping them become educated in child development with their child from the ages of newborn to age three. We work with also with the court approved visitations. We are trying to make sure we have the children's best interest in anything we try to provide them. The children are what we strive to help so they don’t become abused or neglected. Everything is completely confidential so one knows that we serve the clients we do unless the client themselves makes it known to others. We will ask the client if it is all right to share their case between us colleagues. It is our job to make sure that the children basic needs are met. Clients are to be given respect no matter their fashion, differences, and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers try to help encourage, re-establish, and keep relationships together. There should be a trust between the clients established. No one should practice anymore than their competence allows them to. We will use the informed consent with all clients. If there is a conflict of interest we will address it and refer. Under no circumstances is there to be a sexual relationship. Client’s have access to their records. There should not be any personal touching as it may misconstrue the situation and that could lead to sexual harassment. There will be no vulgar language used here. When services are no longer needed counselors need to terminate the relationship with the clients.

This article is based on principle and virtue based. The believers and the skeptics as you will. The article describes the idea behind the events of the believers and skeptics and discovers the potential for upcoming practice and research with respect to decision-making about ethical issues in the social work profession. The principle bases abide by the code even when the code is difficult to follow. Whereas the virtue base find the code can be damaging when trying to do what is best for the client. We are trying not to harm the client any further. The difficulty of any difference within the community/institutional construction, need to be significantly understood in the ethical decision-making development in order to report for ethical trespass and the well-being of the consumer. Methodologies were used to perform the conduct of study and examine the facts. They collected data, interviewed people, and analyzed the data. They consulted with colleagues and listened to the feedback. It is clear that if you don’t want o follow the code of ethics they would prefer you find another profession. They want to make sure you are also working within the scope of your ability. If you aren’t you are to refer to someone else. Make sure the written consent form is followed to the letter. Make sure you are practicing self-care so you don’t get burnt out. Make sure everything is documented to cover your but so to speak in case anything is ever brought up in a legal perspective. What I got out of this is that you are on one side or the other. There is no middle ground.
