Assignment 2: Ethical Standards

In this assignment, you will explore specific ethical  standards that apply to the practice of professionals working in the  human services field. You will demonstrate your ability to analyze  potential dilemmas that might arise in this work by discussing the  inherent challenges with practicing within the parameters of many  different types of regulation standards.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online  library resources, and the Internet, research the ethical standards of  one type of human services agency in your state or province. In a 3- to  4-page analysis paper, address the following:

• Describe the type of service you have selected.
• Briefly explain the related laws that govern the practice of the selected service.
• Discuss the specific ethical standards  (at least three) that are in place for direct service providers or human  services agencies providing the selected service.
• Identify and discuss at least one potential conflict that might  arise in work under these standards if they were different from the  agency's policy or direct service provider's own moral standards.

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned,  prepare a 3- to 4-page analysis paper. Your response should rely upon  at least three sources from professional literature. This may include  the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks,  peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional  organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in  a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship  in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA  format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
