Describe the similarities and differences of social work values and code of ethics locally and internationally.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Some of the similarities between social work values and ethics locally and internationally rest around the values of service and social justice. These values are embraced locally and worldwide. Where they differ in some sense is that different words are used to describe similar concepts. For instance, the local terms dignity and worth are defined globally as empowering and liberating. The same can be said for the local terms of competence and integrity that are defined internationally as applying theories with clients.
