Supervisors and social workers had their chance in this webinar to discuss the model ‘LOVE - A tool for making ethical decisions’ that was recently published by ANZSW. The ‘LOVE’ tool helps social workers navigate ethical dilemmas by assisting them to systematically consider their situation from different lenses (Legal requirements, Organisational requirements, Values, and Ethical codes). The deliberate naming of the acronym LOVE reminds supervisors that when they assist social workers to navigate ethical situations or respond to complaints, they should do so in a supportive manner that challenges hindsight bias and promotes organisational learnings.
