Ethics and Youth Work Practice

This unit focuses on developing ethical approaches to all aspects of youth work in Australia and internationally. From an initial examination of the personal values and beliefs that shape individual practice, students are encouraged to analyse, evaluate and develop a framework for professional youth work practice. Knowledge of Human Rights and applying the YACVic Code of ethics to practice will enable students to integrate and embed an ethical approach to their work. This unit will also include the principles of youth work practice, aspects of professional conduct, and communication standards.
