How does values affect social work practice?
Your personal values affect your professional judgement and can influence your actions, behaviour and decisions.

You must not allow these differences to affect your work.
Communication – both verbal and non-verbal – is a vital skill for social workers. The ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of people is essential. It is the duty of social workers to advocate for their clients – in order to do this, social workers must understand the client’s needs.
Social workers assist people to cope with life’s challenges by acting as an advocate to raise awareness for client needs and connecting them to solution-based programs and services. CSW and LCSW provide individual, group, family and couples therapy.

Social Work Core Values and Code of Ethics The first version of the NASW code of ethics, published in 1960, states that social workers are “dedicated to service for the welfare of mankind” and should “promote the well-being of all without discrimination.”
What is the Code of ethics for social workers?
These basic tenants hold true today, but the code has since evolved from a one-page document into a robust guide of professional conduct that outlines core values, ethical principles and ethical standards to guide social workers and the social work profession. The most recent revisions to the code of ethics were published in early 2018.
