Social work revolves around service, social justice, dignity, and the importance of human relationships. To navigate complex situations, social workers adhere to a structured set of ethical guidelines, called the Social Work Code of Ethics

This code, which has evolved in response to societal changes and professional needs, provides a foundation for professional conduct, ensuring the best care and advocacy when working with clients, colleagues, and communities.
