Ethics
I have taught professional ethics since 1989 and I am a member of the National Association for Social Workers National Ethics Committee. The following ethics textbook has been designed as a series of modules that can be used across the social work curriculum. The textbook may also be used for a stand-alone course on social work ethics.
