This document discusses codes of practice and conduct for social workers and counselors. It defines codes of practice as lists of rules that professionals must follow in their daily work. All health and social care workers are expected to undergo training and obtain relevant qualifications. Various regulatory bodies establish codes of conduct that professionals must adhere to in order to protect service users, their caregivers, and the public. Adhering to codes of conduct helps professionals establish trust, promote independence, minimize harm, and improve skills for those they serve.
