Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Many social work students have little experience of values and ethics in social work when they begin their studies. This book tackles that lack of knowledge by identifying current issues in applying ethical decisions to social work, investigating them within an anti-discriminatory framework and against the background of the code of practice for social care workers and employers. Using real life case studies, traditional perspectives such as principled and consequentialist approaches are explained and current developments in virtue theory and ethics are introduced.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-160) and index.

Preparing for social work -- Anti-oppressive practice -- Principles and consequences -- Being accountable -- Managing risk -- Advocacy and social work organisations -- The ethics of partnership working -- Ethics in social work organisations.
