BC Association of Social Workers

Refresh your ethics knowledge, explore social work codes, and apply a practical framework to complex issues across diverse settings.

DESCRIPTIONWe will begin with the assumption that participants could benefit from both a refresher and a comprehensive understanding go factors to consider in addressing ethical issues. Consequently, we will revisit meaning and roles of ethics in the profession, the different types of ethical issues, and the different SW codes of Ethics (BCCSW, CASW and NASW) emphasizing their purposes and limitations in addressing ethical issues. Finally, we will introduce participants to a comprehensive ethical decision-making framework (Barsky, 2023). In the process, we will demonstrate how the complexity of ethical issues increases as we move from practice with individuals to couples/families, groups, organizations and communities.PRESENTERSDixon is a recently retired associate professor from the School of Social Work at UBC-O.
