Ethics and Practice Guidelines
Ethics and Practice Guidelines
The AASW Ethics and Practice Standards Consultation Service has also developed a range of Ethics and Practice Guidelines and resources for social workers that expand upon the Code of Ethics and Practice Standards to discuss common or topical ethics and practice issues from a practical point of view.
While some of the guidelines include information of a legal nature, the guidelines are not a substitute for legal advice and members should seek their own independent legal advice when necessary.
If you would like more information on any of these topics, please do not hesitate to contact the Ethics and Practice Standards Consultation Service on 03 9320 1000 or via email.
