1. NASW CODE OF ETHICS
Directions: Please select one case scenario topic and post your own opinions. You will find a
link to my PowerPoint on NASW Code of Ethics and a link to the actual code of ethics. You
will use the actual NASW Code of Ethics to address your questions by identifying the code
by its assigned, such as 1.01 Commitment to the Client and/or the Ethical Principles that
apply. I recommend you carefully read all the Code of Ethics before answering the
questions. Your post should be a minimum of 4 paragraphs (5-7 full sentences) and you may
use first person to address your topic. You may want to begin your post by identifying
which group you are in.Scenario 1You are a supervisor (MSW) in a mental health program
which has a strict policy against transporting clients. As you are driving to work you see a
woman who you know is one of your counselor’s clients, walking down the road. You
assume she is walking to your office as she has at least 3 appointments a week and you have
seen her at your office. It has begun to rain hard and the office is at least a mile away.Is it
illegal to stop and provide a ride to this client?Identify any NASW Code that would support
or challenge you providing this client a rideIs this an ethical dilemma? Why or why not?As
the supervisor what would you do?
