Social Work and Human Services
Apparently, the preliminary aim of any profession in social work and human services is to ensure people’s welfare and assisting them to take thereof themselves and obtain the various basic needs. It’s attaining the sustainable development goals such as poverty alleviation, offering affordable medical care, women and youth empowerment among others. Throughout my practicum experiences, I have come to assume some ethical responsibility such as rendering quality services, ensuring social justice, helping people realize their dignity and self-worth, showing them the importance of healthy relationships, competence, working under minimum supervision, following the necessary procedures in all my activities, privacy and confidentiality of information, and integrity among others. (Walton, 86). Additionally, I was also able to apply critical thinking skills throughout my practicum experience and was able to deal with the different kinds of clients even with their cultural differences, beliefs, and traditions. This translated to the clients being happy that they are getting the necessary services they need.
Relatively, in order to ensure I abide by the standards governing the field of Human Services then I had to follow the NASW Code of Ethics which has six important purposes that is: identifying the core values where the social work mission is based, summarizing the ethical standards and principles guiding the practice, Identifying the necessary conflicts, considerations, and professional responsibilities, holding one accountable for their actions, familiarizing new practitioners to the relevant mission, ethical principles and standards, and lastly articulating the social work profession and assess for unethical conducts (Walton, 87).

I believe that throughout my practice, I was able to follow most of the ethical standards and responsibilities laid out in the NASW Code.
