• Recognizing the wisdom of hindsight, if we accept the narration of the story you have been given as true, and you were a social worker (not the primary worker) in the Department of Human Services at the time this case was being handled, what would you have done, if anything? Why? Why not? What part(s) of the Code of Ethics support your actions or inaction? In order to answer this question, you will need to refer to the Code of Ethics and cite specific parts. Also, keep in mind that you are not a worker on the case, but are well aware of what is happening in the case as you share an office with the primary worker.
