What is social work? Everything that social work is including who we are, how we practice, our clients' rights, our responsibilities, is contained in the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is the guideline to fully understand the role that social work plays in the professional sphere and how we effectively perform that role according to best practices. This workshop will explain the importance of social work ethics and ethical practice and how to use this information in order to study for, and successfully pass the LMSW exam.
