Exam item writers live in the same world that you do and read the same headlines. Don't be too surprised to see items in future versions of the LCSW exam that pull from the conflicts that occupy your news and social media feeds today. One simple way to stay grounded in social work ethics as you approach these questions is to remember the six core values spelled out in the NASW Code of Ethics:
- service
- social justice
- dignity and worth of the person
- importance of human relationships
- integrity
- competence
They're right at the top of the Code of Ethics. Give the descriptions a careful read!
