Ethics Scenario (Case Study #2) When approaching a family about needs they may have and ways to help them it maybe a little uncomfortable for the parent to talk about the needs that they may have. It is never easy for anyone to ask for help in a situation because of pride. Being a daycare teacher, I see needs that parents have and concerns that they need to have addressed. We have helped parents when they expressed needs and we give them direction of help. Having to help families everyday it makes it easier to look through these case studies and go through the process in helping them. With this case and knowing what the family has gone through and continues to go through daily I feel the best way to approach the mother would be through asking …show more content…
In the case study only three out of the five children are mentioned. The three mentioned are all having some problems that have come on based on needs that they have. The 16-year-old dropped out of high school, he may have done that because the mother also dropped out or to get a job and work to help pay the bills. This will later influence him as he will have to get a GED later in life. The 11-year-old has bed wetting problems, this means something developmentally is wrong with him. Wetting the bed at this age is not normal and maybe he has a health issue. This probably takes a toll on him as it happens every night. Then their 5-year-old daughter has nightmares of her dad dying every night. Considering her age her father has probably been sick all her life. With having nightmares, she doesn’t sleep which affects her daily routine. There are many different resources that could help in this situation. She would need to find a home health care company that would accept help, she could get her husband disability. Finding a home health care company that would help her or give her more information about getting help for payment would be high on the list. She could go to her local health department to learn about different resources for food stamps and DSS vouchers for childcare for some of her children. She could talk to the schools that her children attend and see about her children getting to see the consular possibly once a
The quality of child care in the United States leaves room for improvement. According to (Deborah, L., Vandell, & Barbara, W.), suggest that when low-income families received child care, mothers are more likely to keep doctor’s appointments and decrease their stress level. The cost of child care is having a huge impact on the careers of working parents and people with disabilities. According to the case study of Katy Adams is one that conveys the message of different facets of stress and, how it impacts a person’s health and well been.
Working with people can be challenging, but so rewarding all at the same time. As humans, we are certainly not perfect and we are making mistakes daily. Making decisions is one thing that does not come easily to us, and depending on the day you can get multiple different answers to one situation. The NASW Code of Ethics is an extremely helpful tool when we are working with clients and something that does not ever waiver in ethical decision-making. If we are working in the Social work profession, then we must insure we are making the correct decision for everyone who is involved with the client.
According to NASW (2010), values are descried as the mission of the social worker in which this includes service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. An essential value that is applicable to my practice setting is the service value. This value is define as the social workers’ priority to help people and addressing social problems in the environments As an intern, it has been a priority to provide services to our client depending on their specific needs. There has been times that client have needed transportation in order for them to attend monthly events, clothes’ donations, and mentoring services. Another importance value that
Ethical Issues in Social Work I will provide practical help for new social workers to help them understand and deal with ethical issues and dilemmas which they will face. There are many ethical issues which are important to social work, but I feel that these are all covered by the care value base. The care value base Was devised by the care sector consortium in 1992, this was so that the workers in health and social care had a common set of values and principles which they would all adhere to. It is important because for the first time the social care sector had a clear set of guidelines from which ethical judgements could be made. The care value base is divided into 5 elements - The care value base covers - Equality and Diversity - Rights and responsibilities - Confidentiality - Promoting anti Discrimination - Effective communication Equality and Diversity Carers must value diversity themselves before they can effectively care for the different races, religions and differently abled people they will come across in their caring profession.
Social workers will face ethical dilemmas when working with clients throughout their career. As a social work intern, it is important to understand the ethical standards of the profession in order to make the best possible decision in regards to any dilemma that might be encountered. Relevant to social workers today, especially in regards to working in a school setting with clients who are minors, there seems to be a conflict that exists between the standards of self-determination/confidentiality and professional conduct. Students tend to disclose a lot of information that brings these standards into conflict and the professional social worker has to use their judgment in deciding how to handle the situation.

The challenge I experienced this week are as follows: Two undocumented eelderly clients that need 24 hours onsite medical staff. One client has open wound cellulites and bilateral chronic leg ulcers that require for her wound to be clean and bandages to be change daily. And the other elderly client cannot accept the fact that she cannot make medical decision on her behalf. This particular client is currently hospitalized. Both clients are undocumented and due to their immigration status neither one can be transferred to an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing
During my time at placement I have worked with a diverse range of people. Not only have I engaged with children, from babies up to children aged 18, but I have also worked with adults. The families that I have supported have consisted of 2 parent families, lone parents, through to grandparents whom have a residency order. These families all had different backgrounds and unique needs, ranging from carers with learning disabilities, those with mental health issues and families who were unemployed and living in poverty. The children I worked with were not only affected by these factors, but they also had their own issues to contend with, including; child J who had learning difficulties and was significantly behind in his education; child E who was delayed developmentally due to experiencing neglect, and child R who had been subjected to physical abuse and was now suffering with low self-esteem and self-confidence.
God challenges me each day to include the excluded through my work with parents, children, and families that have become involved with the Department of Child Services. Every family that I encounter has their own story and that story is often times not understood or accepted by individuals looking at the family from the outside leading to the family being excluded or looked down upon. Each family has different needs and circumstances that impact their story, which are needs and circumstances that need to be taken into consideration as to why the family has become involved with the Department of Child Services.
Ethics is the understanding of the moral values that govern the people in a community or society. Ethics will also cover the broader aspect of culture and its involvement in making decisions. It is only ethical that the organization take care of the needs of their employees especially those needs that affect their health issues. For that matter, the ethical view support that the organization does provide the contraceptives for their employees (Bernard, 2010).

In the Greensboro area, there are a lot of communities that can provide assistance for an older adult at different levels. My patient is in general an independent one in all aspects of her life and she would like to be in control of everything regarding her life. She is living in her nice apartment by herself, but in the same time, she enjoys being in the company of other people, especially people of her age or closer. Therefore, I consider that the best community for her to attend will be a day care community, where she can go almost every day and she can spend some quality time with other older adults. I chose a day care community because I know she needs a company to avoid episodes of depression that she has, occasionally,
“In this essay, we have been asked to critically assess the professional values in the ‘British Association of Social Work’ (BASW). With this the concepts of ethics and how this operates in social work practice and analyse the general role in governing and representatives bodies in social work practice”.
All social workers are beholden to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics. Professional ethics are the main core of social work. The profession has an obligation to articulate its basic values, ethical principles, and ethical standards. The code is composed of thematic sections that outline a social worker’s responsibility to clients, colleagues, employers, and the profession. Some responsibilities that a social worker has to a client are that the clients are their primary responsibility, fostering maximum self-determination in clients, respecting the privacy of clients, keeping information that has been shared during the course of their duties confidential and charging fees for services that are fair and considerate
Whereas families are on a continuum of coping and need different types of services and intervention along it, all family members should always advocate for parent education development enhancing education, family centered programs for additional support, facing minor challenges, family counseling so as not to be stressed of the child care requirement of healthcare(David and Lucid 1998)
