正如“医师有守则,为执业行医的圭臬;记者有守则,为采访撰稿的指南针”,社会工作者有他们信守不渝的守则,便不足为奇了。守则的订立,并非自鸣清高,或作为跻身认许专业行列的手段,而是基于社会工作者的信念,及社会工作所期望达成的目标。 Just as “physicians have a code of practice, the standard of practice for practicing medicine; the reporters have a code of conduct and a compass for the interview,” it is not surprising that social workers have their unswerving code. The code is not set out on its own terms or as a means of recognizing the profession, but on the conviction of social workers and the desired goal of social work.
