Course Description:

One of two modules exploring social work ethics, this course explores twenty-one specific ethical responsibilities social workers have to colleagues and in practice settings. More importantly, this course offers the reader the opportunity to practice interpreting and applying specific ethical standards in specific practice situations. Each page details excerpts from the NASW Code of Ethics. The reader will read through a vignette describing a specific situation and then be asked to choose the better of two proposed actions.

Ethical questions are rarely simple or straight forward and seasoned professionals often disagree about what is the "better" answer. Given that this course is a brief overview rather than a more lengthy discussion, the vignettes chosen are simpler than many faced in clinical settings. The author is well aware that interpreting and applying ethical standards is rarely, if ever, simple or clear-cut. The vignettes provided were chosen to illustrate key educational points. The suggested "better answers" are not meant to represent a full and/or complete analysis.
