Ethics

 Imagine you are a human service professional bound by general ethical principles, but also by the agency policies of your employer. Your agency only provides career assistance; all other assistance is a referral to other resources. The client is in a situation where she/he cannot afford clothes for interviews and your agency provides no monetary assistance. Other options have been exhausted and you are contemplating paying for an outfit yourself because this client is sincerely trying to become self-sufficient. Utilize the 4 assumptions of Kitchener’s model of ethical decision-making and, following a National Organization of Human Services (NOHS) ethical principle arrive at a rationale for paying or not paying for an outfit for the client. Kitchener’s Model and the Ethical codes of the National Organization of Human Services will be used in your final paper.  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. When responding to your classmates, please provide a resource located in your region indented to assist clients with acquiring interview and professional clothing (Ex: clothing closet at a church such as Hope Ministries Clothes Closet of Bushnell, FL, Dress for Success of Phoenix, AZ, Bottomless Closet of Milwaukee, WI, etc.). Explain what the resource offers clients; be specific. Your initial post should be at least 500 words.
