Law and ethics are two vital aspects of social work - all social
workers need to practise according to the law and their codes of
ethics and conduct. However, the relationship between the law and
social work values and ethics is not without its tensions and this
book takes a problem-based approach to explore the dilemmas and
challenges that can arise. The first part of the book sets out
frameworks for thinking about the law and ethics, and how they
relate to social work. It also introduces some of the big
philosophical and sociological questions about the purposes of law
and of ethics and how they relate to society more generally. In the
second part, the book explores a series of areas where profound
dilemmas arise - such as end-of-life decisions, respecting peoples'
choices but ensuring their safety and that of others,
responsibility and blame, making allowance for different cultural
traditions and breaking confidentiality. In each of the
problem-based chapters, this accessible text: outlines the relevant
law discusses court judgments in leading cases considers the
implications of different ethical frameworks pulls out key ethical
questions and challenges for social work. Social Work, Law and
Ethics highlights what the law says and what it offers, what
ethical principles are at stake, and what these imply for social
work policy and practice. In this way, it uses real-life scenarios
to analyse the dynamic interactions of social work, law and ethics.
It is essential reading for all social work students.
