BSW3705 Assignment 1 2026 - Distinction | Due 5 May 2026

BSW3705 ASSIGNMENT 1 2026 DUE 15 MAY 2026 Question 1 1.1 Discuss “unethical conduct” in the context of integrated social work practice (ISWP) and provide relevant practical examples where necessary. Unethical conduct refers to any action or inaction by a social worker that violates the professional code of ethics, which is binding on all registered practitioners. In the South African context, the South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP) prescribes the ethical conduct that social workers must uphold, including conduct towards the profession, client systems, organisations, colleagues and society. Unethical behaviour compromises the integrity of the profession and harms clients, who are often vulnerable members of society (BSW3705 Tutorial Letter 102/0/2025, p. 9).
