Ethical Issues for Consideration with Subpoenas: What Social Workers Need to Know

  • Live Webinar United States (map)

Course Description:

This workshop looks at what subpoenas are and when and how social workers should respond to them. Subpoenas should not be looked at in a vacuum. As a result, the NASW Code of Ethics will be utilized to explore how it guides social workers in this area. Case examples will be utilized and participants will help evaluate appropriate responses.

How to respond to subpoenas from a variety of sources, and requests for information, is a common ethical dilemma that social workers face. Most social workers release too much information. In my ethics consulting practice, this issue comes up regularly. This workshop will empower social workers on how to respond using the NASW Code of Ethics as a guide.
