Description

Subject Area: Social Work

This course introduces students to the key ideas in applied and professional ethics as these inform and are integrated with social work practice and theory. It addresses the Australian Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics (2010) and enables students to develop a critical understanding of the underlying ideas that inform the ethical principles behind the Code. It prepares students to engage with ethics as a key element of their future role as a professional practitioner. To achieve this the course is integrated with the learning from SOCW3011 Social Work Practice: Field Education 1, and must normally be taken alongside that course. The interactive style of teaching seeks to develop students' capacities to reflect critically on their own practice in order to promote their grasp of life-long learning as a foundation for engaging with ethics in practice.
