Ethics and Values in Social Work Practice – Hardcover Guide by Usha Srivastava

Description

Social work ethics and values are guided by six core principles: service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. These values form the foundation of the profession, dictating how social workers act to enhance well-being, uphold human rights, empower individuals and communities, and address systemic issues such as poverty, discrimination, and oppression. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics provides the ethical guidelines for social workers. These values and ethics help social workers differentiate between right and wrong, ensuring that their actions are permissible and uphold professional standards while avoiding harmful behaviors or misuse of resources.
