Thanks for uploading this webinar. The Social Worker's action in any situation reflects their view of their role in that particular context. For example, one social worker sees their role as maintaining a high turnover of beds, and so acts to facilitate early patient discharge. While another social worker's actions at the same hospital seem to reflect a different understanding of their social work role. These differences in understanding partly reflect the individual social workers unique life experiences, values and beliefs. So it follows, by increasing your awareness of your values (shapped by the relationships and discourse your embedded in) you have greater mastery of your use of self to maximize the best interests of stake holders in your practice of social work. Increased awareness of our values and beliefs helps us ensure that we are doing 'with' people, rather than directing people and doing 'for' or 'to' them (I.,O''Connor, J.,Wilson, D,.Setterlund, p 59, 60., Social Work and Welfare Practice 2nd Ed, Longman Australia Pty Ltd, 1995) Wow, the role of ethical value-based decision making in social work is so profound. Thank-you Vicki.
