Abstract:

The rules related to professional ethics include principles and responsibilities that provide assurance for the professions. The social work profession also has certain ethical principles and responsibilities. It is known that the first draft studies on the ethical principles and principles of social work started in the 1920s as an enterprise. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, which is the most recent guideline on the ethical principles and principles of social work, provides guidance to social workers with its review in 2017. As an innovative work, in some articles on the document, additional disclosures are made about provision of services on a technological or electronic level. In this study, only the "Social Workers' Ethical Responsibilities Related To Clients" chapter which is on the Guideline has been discussed. Some examples have been presented related to the responsibilities which are examined under 17 titles on the Guideline. In addition, an examination on how should be an ethical decision-making process in the social work profession have been done. The aim of this study is to address the ethical responsibilities of the clients in the light of current developments and address the ethical decision-making process as a complementary issue.
