3 Ethics CEs
Although many social workers pursue careers in macro-level practice areas, such as program operations, management, and policy, most social work ethics trainings are focused on the ethical challenges encountered in clinical-level work.
Macro practice, however, is replete with ethical dilemmas unique to that level of work, including where the consequences of ethical errors include the possibility of significant harm to large numbers of people.
This course zeroes in on social work ethical challenges specific to macro settings, especially governmental program management and operations. You will re-evaluate the familiar advice many of us learned in school that "if your agency is doing something unethical, you need to quit" and examine the limits to that approach in terms of duties to clients.
Considering the ethical challenges encountered in macro practice in both "domain" and "host" agency settings, this course is designed to offer social workers both a decision-making structure and a defined set of macro-specific intervention and action tools.
