TY - JOUR A1 - Kolbeck, Anna Katharina A1 - Blanz, Mathias T1 - Neglect of normative principles by social work practitioners: Recommendations for social work education JF - Social Work & Social Sciences Review N2 - Two hundred and four German social work practitioners were surveyed as to what extent they neglected ethical and normative principles in their daily professional social work practice. The principles have been derived from the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), and the Deutscher Berufsverband für Soziale Arbeit (German Professional Association for Social Work – DBSH). Factor analysis led to a classification of these neglects into three areas. The neglect of goals of the profession (e.g., improving social work’s public image), of guidelines for dealing with clients (e.g., not favoring one client over another), and regarding general regulations of careful work (e.g., documenting one’s daily actions). Descriptive statistics for these three domains are presented. In addition, correlational analyses with eight validity variables document convergent, discriminant and criterion validity of the elaborated domains. Finally, the consequences of the results for teaching ethical principles in social work are discussed.
