Many social work students have little theoretical or practical experience of values & ethics in social work when they begin their studies. This book tackles that lack of knowledge by identifying issues in applying ethical decisions to social work. These issues are then investigated further. It is vital that social workers have a deep and critical understanding of the social work value-base, and are able to analyse and apply values and ethics to their everyday practice. This fully-revised edition of one of our best-selling titles identifies current issues in social work and then applies an ethical dimension. These issues are then investigated further within an anti-discriminatory framework and against the background of the code of practice for social care workers and employers. Traditional value perspectives are clearly explained and current developments in virtue theory and the ethics of care for social work are also introduced.
