Hey, I hope you are all enjoying this class so far and looking forward to the content this week.

Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn

In week six, we will start a six-week process of an in-depth review of the social worker’s ethical standards. The first group of standards is what the expectations social workers have towards their clients. We will also start a process of looking through each of the social worker’s values and expressing how it can relate to our lives.

Week 6 Objectives:

  • Understand the value of Service and provide an example from the student’s life that illustrates the principle.
  • Describe several examples of the ethical standards under Commitment to Clients in the NASW Code of Ethics.

The text of the National Association of Social Workers (2021) Code of Ethics is included in the forum posts but can also be found online. Although the Reamer (2018a) textbook is based on the 2017 version of the code of ethics, most of it is the same.
