Objective for this week:
Social work policy centers on attending to a client’s needs; however, certain organizational policies and constraints can dictate how such services are delivered.
In a child welfare agency, are all mothers with young children eligible to receive aid? In a job placement agency, would lack of a permanent address disqualify a client from securing a job?
This week, you explore the organizational policies that each agency implements when delivering services to clients to overcome these and similar challenges.

- An explanation of organizational policy in your field education experience

Week 5 – Social Work Values and Ethics
Program Transcript
Each profession has a code of ethical principles that provides a base for practice.
These codes usually focus on professionals’ responsibilities to those they serve,
to the agencies for which they work, and to society at large. The National
Association of Social Workers’ (NASW) Code of Ethics sets forth the values,
principles, and standards to guide social workers’ conduct.
NASW adheres to broad ethical principles that are based on social work’s core
values of service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of
human relationships, integrity, and competence.
This week, consider how social work values and ethical principles inform your
day-to-day skills development.
