Social Work Values and Ethics Program

Discussion 1: Week 10 Blog

Social Work Values and Ethics Program – 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.

Post a blog post in APA format that includes in their own paragraphs with references and in text citations to support your information:

• A description of the principles of social work values and ethics
• An explanation of how the principles of social work values and ethics might relate to the Family Community Connections agency. Their website is: https://www.familycommunityconnections.com/.
• The reference below needs to be referenced and have an in-text citation in discussion post.:

Discussion 2:  Policy Implementation Challenges

Implementation never occurs in a vacuum.

—Bruce S. Jansson, Becoming an Effective Policy Advocate: From Policy Practice to Social Justice (8th ed.)

When a policy is launched, its success is dependent on a variety of stakeholders. As the politics of decision makers, executives, staff, clients, and social workers begin to influence the implementation process, their beliefs—and subsequent actions—determine the fate of the policy.

Often a social worker must step out of the comfort of his or her social service world and may find himself or herself making difficult decisions about ethical issues and/or may find himself or herself involved in implementing policies that he or she feels is against his or her social work values. How does a social worker handle the intricacies and challenges of policy implementation on both a personal and professional level?

In this Discussion, you explore policy implementation and the challenges faced by social workers during policy implementation. Answer each question below with it’s own paragraph or section and provide references and in text citations to support your information.:

• Post your thoughts on whether social workers might try to undermine the implementation of specific policies. What ethical issues might they confront?
• Discuss how social workers can implement policies that they feel may be against their social work values.
• Discuss a specific policy’s impact that you would try to mitigate in the implementation phase.
• Provide an experience you have had with a policy you had difficulty implementing or a policy you are aware of that you would have serious qualms about implementing.

Use the following reference and provide an in-text citation for in the discussion post.:
