Ethics in Community Services (Sydney)

Are good intentions enough? Working ethically is a pillar of professional service delivery. Adhering to ethical principles safeguards the wellbeing of our clients, our organisation, and ourselves, so that we can focus on doing our best work. Good intentions are, however, not enough. In order to successfully embed ethical principles in our work, we need to become conversant with the relevant codes and best-practices, and to become effective in the use of appropriate tools and techniques. This half-day professional training workshop will equip you with the background understanding, practical know-how, and industry-proven tools to identify and resolve complex ethical dilemmas. During this workshop, you will: Examine the key elements of community services and the various relevant ethical codes.
