Based on the Ethical Dilemma: Working with a client who was referred to the agen

Based on the Ethical Dilemma: Working with a client who was referred to the agency from the jail system. The client states they do not need or want treatment but this is their only option or they go to jail.
1. Describe and discuss the ethical standards of the NASW Code of Ethics/relevant laws and apply them to the situation. Discuss and refer to specific areas of the code and how these inform the decision making process (www.socialworkers.org/pubs/code.asp).
2. Describe and discuss your hypotheses about possible consequences of the different decisions you might make regarding the situation. Think about the different scenarios and list the pros and cons of those possible actions as well as analyze the possible results.
3. Describe and discuss who will benefit and who will be harmed in view of social work’s commitment to the most vulnerable. Social workers are often faced with deciding between two bad alternatives rather than between one that is clearly right. We have a responsibility to identify and nurture strengths of those who are vulnerable by expanding choices and opportunities.
4. Describe and discuss the importance of consulting with supervisor and colleagues about the most ethical choice. Provide examples of what kinds of questions would you pose to your supervisor or colleagues that might help you in your decision-making process?
