others to obtain needed resources
Best Practice Protocol
● a student working in a field placement as an intern should always identify herself as a
student doing his/her internship
● a social worker working with children and families should be aware of maintaining
communication with appropriate family members and be aware of the resources in the
community that may be helpful to the family/child's situation
● a student working in a field placement should demonstrate culturally appropriate and
responsive behaviors, and be accepting of clients' concerns and respond with sensitivity

by or affecting the family members should consider including the family members as a

Ethics
● Social workers should seek assistance from supervisors when faced with an ethical
dilemma
● Anytime a social worker videos or photographs a client, written consent should be
obtained from the client or in the case of minors, their parent or guardian
, ● A written release of information/consent form must be signed by the client, parent or
guardian any time an agency shares information
● Social workers cannot discuss their clients or case information with others outside
their own agency without written consent from the client
● It is expected that social workers treat their clients with respect, integrity, dignity and
worth, and consider self-determination. In the case of a client with a cognitive disability,
social workers may have to take the client's capacity for self-determination into
consideration when making decisions
● In working with groups, a social worker is expected to show respect to each client
equally, and to encourage respect between the participants. The worker should urge
participation by directing clients to focus on appropriate and supportive discussion
● In their professional capacity, social workers should not engage in nor support gossip
by appropriately redirecting persons who attempt to draw them in to such conversations
Best Practice Protocol - When confronted with a situation in which clients are
disrespected (directly or indirectly) and a worker finds her/himself in an awkward
situation...
● a direct and honest approach of apologizing and seeking from the client their feeling
about the situation, is a first step towards repairing the offense
● explaining that the conduct is not representative of the organization or its philosophy
is also helpful
● pretending it never happened or ignoring the issue would most likely lead to lack of
trust, frustration, and would foster disrespect
● the worker should speak with the supervisor in anticipation that the issue be
addressed in an appropriate manner which may include sensitivity training for the
offender
● in the case of a student intern, the field advisor should be advised of the situation to
ensure that she took the appropriate steps in resolving the matter, confirm her plans to
speak with the supervisor and any other administrators as necessary
Evidence-based Practice
is a practice by which a worker evaluates the work done with clients in a scientific and
systematic approach
