Australian social workers are directed and regulated by the AASW and by the Code of Ethics as established by the AASW. The AASW code of ethics is predominantly centred on the code created by the IASSW thus making the Australian code universally compatible internationally. Australian qualified social workers can practice and are in demand not only nationally but also worldwide. (Department of Employment, 2012). They must also work within the parameters of the policies formed by the proprietors of which ever company, organisation, agency or service contractor for which they are employed. As most organisations have their own codes of conduct set out for their employees to apply to their daily practice in conjunction with the AASW Code of
Evidently everything that took place at Willowbrook was extremely unethical all around. All ten of the principles in the ATRA code of ethics were violated. Willowbrook is a perfect example of how ethics change over time. Even though today you hear stories about abuse and neglect that takes place in nursing homes this type of treatment and this amount of widespread neglect would never happen today. Today there are strict protocols and guidelines in every facility that as a professional you are required to follow.

The NASW Code of Ethics guides social work practice to empower those individuals who are oppressed, vulnerable, and living in low socioeconomic status. An ethical consideration that must be addressed in this case, is “1.07 privacy and confidentiality and 1.03 informed consent” from the NASW Code of Ethics. As a social work intern at an outpatient substance abuse treatment agency, the issue arises when writing monthly reports to probation officers. The client has signed all necessary forms for the agency and it is the social worker’s role not to disclose information without a valid consent from the client.
These include responsibilities for providing and using appropriate supervision, training and staff development opportunities. Under this act social services workers must follow codes of practice set out which are a

The legislations, policies, processes, and code of practices have established the responsibility of employer in the regulation of social care worker. These standards are being set at the national level as they require the social care providers to comply with them. The codes are important step in the introduction of the system of regulation for the social care within four countries of the United Kingdom. They are required to ensure that people working as social care providers are required to understand their responsibilities. They are required to be provided with the appropriate training to handle vulnerable groups requiring assistance from social care providers.

Profession Code of Ethics Comparison As a social work student, we are provided with the foundational education necessary to succeed in our profession. The National Association of Social Work (NASW) Code of Ethics is the most significant publication because it “is intended to serve as a guide to the everyday professional conduct of social workers” (NASW Code of Ethics, 2017). For this assignment, we are charged with exploring other professional codes of ethics to gain a better understanding of how they may be similar or differ from one another. Therefore, I choose to explore the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics with the intention of conducting a comparison analysis of both documents.
Planning is transforming socially, but to achieve change it has to bring together, politicians, planners, and residents (Sandercock, 2004). Citizen’s opinions and rights should be taken into consideration. It is the number one rule in the planning process for participants. It says, “recognize the rights of citizens to participate in planning decisions” (Ethical, n.d.). Cities cannot progress unless they change their ways of doing things.
The general social care council is a list of statements that describe the standards of professional conduct and practice demanded of social care workers. It's set at a national level so everyone should be following the rules set. Employers also have almost the same standards at a local level. Everyone who uses the service, and the general public, are aware of these standards and are aware of what they can expect from a service. They set down responsibilities for employers as well as employees, and also make sure that these rules are followed by taking appropriate action when workers do not meet expected standards of conduct.
When reading the IAMFC Code of Ethics and AAMFT Code of Ethics I found that they compare significantly, much more than they contrast. Many of the principals coincide. For example, the topic of multiple relationships is one of the many principles that parallel in many codes of ethics. The IAMFC Code of Ethics encourages family counselors to “avoid whenever possible multiple relationships, such as business, social, or sexual contacts with any current clients or family members” (Section A). Similarly, the AAMFT Code of Ethics also requires that therapists “make every effort to avoid conditions and multiple relationships with clients that could impair professional judgment or increase the risk of exploitation.
Social workers are there to help meet the basic needs of human, also with the need of helping encourage, mentoring, and empower human struggles in society and poverty.

The code is generally designed to help people with relevant needs to there every day life. These codes help apply better and relationship with the worker to client.
In 2007 the International Federation of Accountants has defined its International Good Practice Guidance, "Defining and Developing an Effective Code of Conduct for Organizations". The International Federation of Accountants who works on that for quite long already provided the following definition: "Principles, values, standards, or rules of behavior that guide the decisions, procedures and systems of an organization in a way that (a) contributes to the welfare of its key stakeholders, and (b) respects the rights of all constituents affected by its operations." A common code of conduct, which is normally recognized by international institution and standard, is written and compiled for employees of a company to protect the business and informs the employees of the company's expectations. The document, which will then be used to share to the employee, does not need to be complex or have elaborate policies, but the file needs a simple basis of what the company expects from each
