In social work,ethical conduct is an essential, but complex practice. Social workers must often act quickly and effectively in the face of difficult moral dilemmas.
Some common ethical dilemmas in the social work including
Recieving gifts
Clients who recieve assistance somtimes wish to reciprocate . Although giving a gift can be a kind gesture. It can also prove problematic. If a social worker recieves a gift (particularly when it is expensive),it may constitute a breach of integrity. however rejecting a gift may hurt the client's feelings, potentially damaging the relationship.If the gift is handmade or inexpensive,it is generally considered appropriate to accept.
Right to self-determination
Although the job of social workers is to help people make informed decisions, they are not ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients. When clients choose to act against their own best interest (sucha as former drug addicts deciding to visit thier old dealer),it can be tempting for social workers to provide their clients with " tough love", But except in extenuating circumstances,social workersmust ultimatelyrespect their client's autonomy.
