Ethics, which encapsulates ethical conduct and ethical decision making, is central to promoting the activity of social work in all of its forms and scopes of practice. This underpinning supports the realization of the social work ‘mission’ to ‘facilitate well-being and participation of people, promote social justice and economic justice, address structural sources of inequities, and eliminate conditions that infringe human and civil rights’ (CASW-ACFTS Accreditation Standards- May 2012).
