Discussion 2 ● In your own words, describe the primary mission of the social work profession. For your response, imagine you are describing this to a friend or family member. ● Define what constitutes an ethical dilemma. ● Give an example of an ethical dilemma you might encounter in your field experience (i.e., internship). This could involve your own actions, the actions of a supervisor, or an agency policy. ● Identify the Code of Ethics that applies to the ethical dilemma you described. ● Describe what you would do to address the situation. Be specific in identifying your dilemma and in identifying what part of the Code of Ethics applies. The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance the quality of other people's lives by providing services, resources and advocating for those who are vulnerable. An ethical dilemma is when there is a situation that involves having to choose a solution that is not ethically or morally correct. An example of an ethical dilemma that may be faced could be dealing with a client who confided in me that he wanted to harm his younger brother out of anger, and has created a plan. The client informed me that he doesn't want me to disclose this information to his mother as he will get in trouble. The dilemma that is faced is whether confidentiality should be broken and if I should report this information to the client's mother and proper authorities.. The code of ethics that applies to this dilemma is section 1.07 © privacy and confidentiality. According to the code of ethics, “the general expectation that social workers will keep information confidential does not apply when disclosure is necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm to a client or others.”(NASW Code of Ethics, 2021). In this situation I have a responsibility to report this information to the proper authorities as I would be trying to prevent the client from harming his sibling. I would also explain to the client why I would need to disclose this information and speak with my supervisor to discuss the next course of action that needs to be taken.
