A historic and defining feature of social work is the profession’s focus on individual well-being in a social context and the wellbeing of society. Fundamental to social work is attention to the environmental forces that create, contribute to, and address problems in living.  \nSocial workers promote social justice and social change with and on behalf of clients. “Clients” is used inclusively to refer to individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice. These activities may be in the form of direct practice, community organizing, supervision, consultation, administration, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation, education, and research and evaluation. Social workers seek to enhance the capacity of people to address their own needs. Social workers also seek to promote the responsiveness of organizations, communities, and other social institutions to individual’s needs and social problems.  \nThe mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values. These core values, embraced by social workers throughout the profession's history, are the foundation of social work's unique purpose and perspective.  \nx Service  \nx Social justice  \nx Dignity and worth of the person  \nx Importance of human relationships  \nx Integrity  \nx Competence  \nThis constellation of core values reflects what is unique to the social work profession. Core values, and the principles that flow from them, must be balanced within the context and complexity of the human experience.  \nPurpose of the NASW Code of Ethics  \nProfessional ethics are at the core of social work. The profession has an obligation to articulate its basic values, ethical principles, and ethical standards. The NASW Code of Ethics sets forth these values, principles, and standards to guide social workers’ conduct. The Code is relevant to all social workers and social work students, regardless of their professional functions, the settings in which they work, or the populations they serve.  \nThe NASWCode of Ethics serves six purposes:  \n1. The Code identifies core values on which social work’s mission is based.  \n2. The Code summarizes broad ethical principles that reflect the profession’s core values and establishes a set of specific ethical standards that should be used to guide social work practice.  \n3. The Code is designed to help social workers identify relevant considerations when professional obligations conflict or ethical uncertainties arise.  \n4. The Code provides ethical standards to which the general public can hold the social work profession accountable.  \n5. The Code socializes practitioners new to the field to social work’s mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical standards.  \n6. The Code articulates standards that the social work professional itself can use to assess whether social workers have engaged in unethical conduct. NASW has formal procedures to adjudicate ethics complaints filed against its members1. In subscribing to this Code, social workers are required to cooperate in its implementation, participate in NASW adjudicationproceedings,  \nand abide by any NASW disciplinary rulings for sanctions based on it.  \n1 For information on NASW adjudication procedures, see NASW Procedures for the Adjudication of Grievances.  \nThe Code offers a set of values, principles, and standards to guide decision making and conduct when ethical issues arise. It does not provide a set of rules that prescribe how social workers should act in all situation","cbCaitxVptp4w98r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitxVptp4w98r","pdf",201265,"English","# Preamble\n## Mission of the Social Work Profession\n## Core Values\n# Purpose of the NASW Code of Ethics\n## Six Purposes of the Code\n## Ethical Decision Making Principles\n## Relationship to Other Ethical Sources","[{\"question\":\"What is the mission described in the NASW Code of Ethics preamble?\",\"answer\":\"The mission is to enhance human wellbeing and help meet basic human needs for all people, with special attention to vulnerable, oppressed people living in poverty.
