Personal Values And Professional Values

Eventually, my values which influence my practice as a Social worker include my personal value my personal values, my value of self-determination, equality, equity, social justice, connectedness,& coming from a non-judgmental perspective, from a profession position, I value the AASW Code of Ethics and reflection of myself. (AASW, 2010)

Ethical theories are however debatable and usually mean different things to different people. It is therefore essential for social workers not to base their decisions solely on these theories, but make use of Codes of practice when faced with ethical dilemmas. Codes of practise are there so service users and carers are informed and know what to expect from social workers and hence there will always be trust between service user and client. According to Banks, values are regarded as those beliefs people regard as worthy or valuable (Banks, 2012).Some values are personal, yet some are culturally/ societally shared. Our personal values form during personal and social development; also past and present experiences influence them. Ethics is that which society considers as right, yet values are

– My personal values will have to be respecting others, education, and helping and caring for others. The person(s) who I feel influenced me the most in forming my values is my parents and my grandmother. They influenced me because growing up they always preach about treating others with respect even if I feel like they don’t deserved it. They also made sure that education was a priority and not an option. For as helping and caring for others I always saw them helping when they didn’t necessary didn’t have too and not one complain or threw it in the person face. The value that lead me into social work is helping and caring for others wanting to see them do better and make better decision in life.

Looking at the values listed in the National Association of Social Workers (NASW, 2008) and the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW, 2010) code of ethics, I can see that the values held by the profession are also values I regard highly, such as respect for persons, social justice, professional integrity, service, importance of human relationships, and competence.

My first personal value that will impact my work as a social worker is respect. In terms of social work and ability to influence my additional values, respect is the most important. For me, respect means to honor others and appreciate their perspective. While my definition of respect may seem simple, its usefulness is multifaceted. One may respect a person, a place, a situation, a circumstance, etc. I learned concepts of respect as a child as my parents were teaching me to observe boundaries. They wanted me to respect my room, and keep it clean, and they explained to me how they respected my personal space. In return, my parents taught me to respect their boundaries, their room, and

The Board of Nursing is a regulatory agency that enforces the Nurse Practice act through disciplinary action, provides the NCLEX for registered nurses to obtain their license to practice in that state and approves nurse education programs (Cherry & Jacob p.71). The Board of Nursing regulates my personal professional nursing practice by the following. I have to pass the NCLEX to get my RN license and keep up with my continuing education units. I have to renew my RN license every year on my birthday to ensure that my license remains valid and maintain safe practice by following the Nurse Practice Act. If I do not follow the Nurse Practice

being selfish, overbearing or taking credit for someone else’s work. It also shows customers and business relationships/partners

In sum, social workers are required to apply ethical principles in practice. As a result, through my experience, ethics have played a significant role in my professional and personal roles. I will continue to strive to learn and gain skills in ethical principles. I plan to strive, grow and explore my own values and beliefs. In addition, I will continue to follow and employ the ethical guidelines for my clients and for myself as I progress in my role as a social

Three primary values represented in my thinking about Bea’s situation are: service, dignity and worth of the person, and competence. Service is one of the main values I incorporate into my thinking because one of the purposes professional social workers service is to help people in need.

Sarah perceived her personal values centered on the candidate being the right type of person for the job. She felt that it was important to her that the candidate has values and characteristics which in her opinion make them the right person for the job.  Sarah posted that a nurse can have a lot of experience and have all of the technical skills, but if they have no bedside manner or respect for their co-workers the she does not want to hire them. She believes that it is healthy to have a positive social intelligence in the workplace and in order to help with this she would want to hire someone that she believe can work with people and has not just professional but personal values.

We all have personal ethical values which guide us between right and wrong in our daily life’s when dealing with ethical dilemmas. Similarly, in an organization the approach taken is to institute a set ethics set of rules to prevent or control ethical lapses by employees. The big difference between personal and organizational ethical values is that in an organization it is predefined by leadership, and in our personal life its constantly developing and changing. For me, my family and faith plays a profound role in who I am as an ethical person, and the development of my core values. While growing up, my parents always emphasized on thinking about what are the consequences of my actions on others, so that I could develop self-awareness. Also, growing up in a religious Sikh family, I was tough the importance of doing Selfless Service “Sava” so that I always stay grounded and develop thoughtfulness towards others. Today as I grow older, I will admit that my personal ethics are still being developed and shaped, but there are a set of core values that been engraved in me by my past experiences. They are: equality, honesty, self-awareness, and thoughtfulness.

Social Work as a profession has been seen as firmly rooted in values (Reamer, 2001); these can have an impact on the practice while they're working with individuals, groups and communities. In 2010, Parrot stated, "The importance of having a value base for Social Work is to guide Social Workers and protect the interest of Services Users." These values include both personal and professional; in order for an effective outcome, these need to be used efficiently in practice. Everyone is brought up with different personal values bases, this is important to take into account when working with others, because
