C H 4 T: The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics ( HYPERLINK "https://www.socialworkers.org/pubs/code/code.asp" https://www.socialworkers.org/pubs/code/code.asp) states that the primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. NASWs code is relevant across professions and guides social workers conduct. DSDS employees have the opportunity to serve such vulnerable individuals and have a positive impact on their quality of life. Understanding and adhering to ethical standards helps to ensure quality services are delivered. It is the responsibility of all DSDS employees to follow:  HYPERLINK "http://dhssnet/policiesprocedures/" Department of Health and Senior Services requirements; Performance Objectives; and Ethical guidelines set forth by the NASW and the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA). Code of Ethics NAPSAs Code of Ethics (HYPERLINK "http://www.napsa-now.org/about-napsa/code-of-ethics/"http://www.napsa-now.org/about-napsa/code-of-ethics/) is specific to adult protective services but is based off of the principles and values set forth by the NASW to guide general social work practice. Adult protective services staff shall promote safety, independence, and quality of life for older adults and/or adults with disabilities who are or may be in danger of being abused, neglected and/or exploited, and who are unable to protect themselves. Every action taken by DSDS employees must balance the duty to protect the safety of the vulnerable adult with that adults right to self-determination. Such vulnerable adults shall be treated with honesty, caring and respect. Principles Adults have the right to be safe. Adults retain all civil and constitutional rights unless a court adjudicates otherwise. Such rights include, but are not limited to, living their lives as they wish, managing finances, and entering into contracts. Adults have the right to make decisions that do not conform with societal norms as long as the adult is competent and such decisions do not harm others. Adults have the right to accept or refuse services. DSDS Employee Responsibilities The first concern of any intervention is to serve the best interest of the adult. When assessing the need for services or when adults refuse services, carefully consider the balance of safety versus self-determination. Most adults will not fit neatly into a category of either having or not having capacity, but are somewhere on a continuum. Attempt to assist the adult with identifying informal and/or community resources. When in doubt, consult with a supervisor. Recognize personal values and strive not to impose such values on others. Attain informed consent from the adult prior to services. Respect the adults right to confidentiality. Strive to be culturally competent. Honor the adults right to be informed of choices and options in a manner the adult can understand. Involve the adult as much as possible in developing the service plan. Focus on maximizing independence and choice based on capacity. Utilize least restrictive services; community-based rather than institutionally-based services. Encourage the use of family or other informal support systems first as doing so is in the best interest of the adult. Assist adults while maintaining professional boundaries by refraining from personal relationships, business arrangements or other possible conflicts. Support case action and planning that is in the adults best interest. Terminate services to clients when such services are no longer required or do not meet the needs of the adult. However, reasonable steps should be taken to avoid abandoning clients who may still be in need of services by assisting the adult with referrals and/or information to ensure continuation of services when necessary. Do no harm. Providing inadequate or inappropriate interventions may be worse than no intervention. DSDS employees shall adhere to this code of ethics while conducting all state business. Any identified deviation shall be reported to the appropriate Regional Manager and respective Bureau Chief immediately. NAPSA (or APS) Code of Ethics. (N.D.).
