Professional Ethics
Friday, April 1, 2011 @ 8:33 PM

As I read up more and more, I realize the seriousness of professional social work ethics. I remember my tutor saying before that we should treat each client and what he confide in us with respect. It is something like what the bible said in Luke 6:31 'Do to others as you would have them do to you.' In the social work sector, there's another line taught by my poly lecturer many years ago.."Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you." Both are similar in nature and tells of how we should be treating everyone around us. Using this on my clients, I would know to protect their confidentiality because that is what I hope my counsellor can do for me too if I ever visit one.

Now the dilemma is that how about in times of group work? All would still need to know the prevailing issues of the client but when client shares something confidential to the case worker, does the case worker reveal to the rest of the team other than the case supervisor? I know someone who argued with me that there are grey areas and I should not be so strict in this. Then again, how about ethics? How do I really draw the line?

Recently, I realised that without mentioning name, some social workers will talk about their clients cases infront of other irrelevant people just to share a story. Does not sharing the name make it ethical already? I'm not too sure.

Taking up this course has changed my perspectives in many ways. I am beginning to be challenged in my mind. Good or bad? I'm not too sure yet. I just pray that God will grant me the ability to discern and grant me wisdom to decide.
