Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals Standard 28: Human service professionals seek appropriate consultation and supervision to assist in decision-making when there are legal, ethical or other dilemmas (Barrett, 2019).[\/textbox]<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One of the defining factors of a profession is that it contains a Code of Ethics. In this chapter we examine The Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals.<\/p>\r\nThen the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics is described for comparison and contrasting. Depending on where you work and what your role is you may use one of these codes, or another one entirely. In addition, there will be workplace standards and governmental laws that will regulate your work. Ethical Standard 28 refers to the responsibility that you have to consult and review when there is an ethical, legal or other dilemma that you face in your work.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n

    Ethics and Professionalism<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    As you consider entering the profession of human services, it is important to think about the role you will play as well as the responsibilities that come with that role. One of the joys and challenges of working with human beings is that unique interactions occur every day.\u00a0 Whether a director, a supervisor, a receptionist, an assistant or a case manager, you will encounter situations that you have not seen before. The field of human services was developed in response to human needs and human problems. It is a profession dedicated to helping diverse individuals solve the challenges that they face while valuing each person\u2019s community, culture and self-determination. While doing so, the professional must act with integrity and compassion with social justice in mind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    There is not a set of directions to follow when you work with individuals. When putting together a piece of furniture or preparing a tray of enchiladas you might follow instructions or recipes. You might even deviate a little bit or add your own flair to the project. Working with individuals and families, however, requires a stronger internal set of values and principles.\r\nThat foundation is one that you build inside yourself using the tools of education, experience, and understanding of ethics.<\/p>\r\n

    [textbox]<\/span>\r\nEthical Standards for Human Services Professionals: <\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\nhttps:\/\/www.nationalhumanservices.org\/ethical-standards-for-hs-professionals<\/a>\r\n\r\n[\/textbox] <\/span>\r\n

    There is a code of ethics for the human services profession that will help you build that foundation. In fact you will be required to use that code as soon as you start working in this profession, including during your practicum and internship experiences.\u00a0 All professions have a code of ethics and those codes have many similarities in terms of how they relate to being responsible toward clients, colleagues, and society. Psychologists, attorneys, medical professionals, and social workers all embed these obligations and duties within their ethical codes.\r\nIn this chapter we will focus on the Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals; in the following chapter the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics is analyzed.<\/p>\r\n

    Figure 3.1. Ethics and values are intertwined with human, regional, national, and world cultures.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Whatever the profession, the code of ethics is embedded within the cultural ethos of the world and here, the cultural norms of the United States. As we examine ethics, we must also look at values and culture. It is important to note that different countries and cultures have differing values. and that there are many sub-cultures within the United States that conflict, complement and\/or mirror the overriding norms of the country.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    It is critical to pay attention to the cultures and values of the families that you work with, as well as being mindful of\u00a0 your own ethics and values. Looking at all of these elements together is complicated and that is why it is being highlighted right as you start learning about this profession. It takes time, experience, education and reflection to develop your foundation. This chapter will support that building process.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n
