Introduction Social workers tend to be inspired either by personal experiences or by the wish to see people get the kind of assistance they need in times of crisis (Logan, 2020). I think it’s important questions in social work training to examine these topics and seek to analyse whatever motivates you and how you can improve professionally. This type of test enters the clinical practice of a client because it allows the social worker more carefully to determine a person’s need. This course has helped me to explore my own individual beliefs in relation to values and how this works in my clinical practice. Values and ethics can be interchanged in certain ways, the more personal aspects and the broader sense reflect other values. This must draw on my beliefs and the values of social work, and makes me a reflective practice. My work shows the importance of reflection, reflection and refinement of social workers’ later behaviour. This reflection of values and how the values affect how you look at the world and relate to other people is extremely significant. This paper examines the principles of social work in my personal and professional growth. Social values will be assessed as found in the literature I examined during the course of my study. Finally, I shall assess the areas in which I want to improve in relation to social work principles personally and professionally. Issues of personal and professional development and value I think the course helped me to evaluate my personal values, not only how inherited my age, but how my own values have become. This method is of great importance to my personal and professional growth and my knowledge of values-related problems. During my studies, I learned what I do and how to analyse my own personal values and to find out the extent to which I am equivalent to the values I have studied. I have found that I continually have to reflect on what I do and how much my fundamental beliefs and values of social work align with or contradict them. I argue: professionals claim to contribute to their social well-being, to place the interests of their customers above their own and are responsible for integrity and morality standards. But both influential and academic critics accuse the profession of serving itself, disregarding its duty to serve and not effectively policing itself How social workers themselves “police” is to think objectively about what I do, why I do it, and what moral consequences it could have. I’m certainly not persuaded by social work ethics that social work should be used to meet the needs of the customer (“Increasing Social Work Effectiveness in Meeting Mental Health Needs”, 1960). An early definition of explicit relationship limits should also be introduced, because the personal involvement of a customer contradicts the BASW’s view on the ethics and values of social work (“Transmitting Values and Ethics Through Social Work Practice”, 1961). One thing I learned during the course is that the issue of knowledge must always be considered in higher education and what makes knowledge. Since the Enlightenment, understanding has been derided from observable facts (as in science), and this means that experience-driven knowledge is not so highly regarded. The objective, scientific understanding of knowledge is being increasingly questioned as a narrow view that retains a clear approach to circumstances a practitioner may use and thus resolve an issue. The Enlightenment view appears to overlook that people (both Social Workers and their customers) are individuals, so not all of them can have one size but that every case must be dealt with in the most appropriate way. Schon (1991) argues that this information is gained or acquired by the process. The value of non-rational experience is a central part of reflective practises. Such experience is probably useful for social workers because I interact with individuals and have to think about their relationship with others every day. Social workers are often confronted with a clash of principles, with a specific client and circumstance on the one hand and the need to meet the bureaucracy increasingly as quickly as possible by proceeding with a case. In a situation like this, rules and procedures and some theoretical methods can very easily be controlled and can have little foundation. In fact. I think that good social work practices place the customer’s needs first and rules and procedures second, especially where social work values will contradict. It seems to me that social work is founded on the common sense of fairness and the fundamental value of all people. When this value is recognised and all human beings are accepted to be important, the answer should be one that best matches the situation and the people affected. I was trained to value myself and others and to say the truth. I found that I am not only true of the principles of social work but also my own values if I try to understand my work from the viewpoint which in the literature constitutes human rights (Staub-Bernasconi, 2016). I am suggesting that social workers based on human rights and social justice values need to know more about how social differences they can see affect their own practice. Often society and its norms are not always fair, society does not always work in the best interests of the individual. Additionally, because social care now is dependent on how well the social work is functioning on the market, a social worker can (whatever the unintentional), work against individual rights in accordance with the legal system under which he needs to act. In these situations, I feel the social worker is obligated to be prepared to move away from immediate circumstances and to be able to act on an ethical, decision-making basis based on human rights (Tolley, 1983). In a contemporary context, however much the present government can attempt to limit it, this concept of human rights covers everything. The ideals of human rights and social justice are probably different in social work from the principles of enlightenment concerning human rights and justice. I am more inclusive since the term applies to all and is more applicable in this context. It must be said that certain principles should not be at the hands of a regime that deals more with laws controlled by budgetary considerations. This mechanism is explained by Ring (2001): In the last two decades, the efficiency of health and social services has been increasingly emphasised. This is mostly due to the central government’s concern about value for money and expenditure, but I was also considerable differences in range, quality and cost of treatment and the failure to protect vulnerable individuals. This ensures that those who really need social care, such as the disabled or children at risk or those with physical and mental disability, end up losing and are forced ever deeper into society’s margins. Check and values Practical reflection enables a professional to face customers and circumstances in new and different ways. The more theoretical and realistic methods that underline their job must also be known to social workers. From my reading of social values and social work, I have found that these things don’t work alone, but are pulled together when I think critically about what I read and do. I hope that the crucial reflection of the above-mentioned processes will enable me to work with any customer I deal with and I will be able to take the view that injustice is incorrect. My reading of social ideals taught me that my practice should fight injustice as a social worker. Critical thinking from an ethically informed viewpoint is a vital part of training and practice on social work since people often have to pause and think. In the same way, an anti-oppressive and emancipatory approach is a vital component of ethical social work (Sinclair & Albert, 2019). When a practitioner is motivated by target-oriented structures, he/she has little time to think and learn from the method. I may then be drawn to ethical practises or practises that operate against the customer’s interests without meaning. This allows them to violate their ethical code of ethics unless I am vigilant. The dynamic nature of modern Western society is not tackled in social labour that is founded on highly defined laws and behaviour. This is contradictory to the ethics of social work since it neglects the fact that you deal with every customer and every case on its own merits (“What Every Social Worker Should Know About Political Action”, 1966). On the other side, reflective practice recognises the individuality and compatibility of every human being w

ith social work ethics. Who an individual is, how I behave and judge in a given situation, their life storey, culture, race, gender and so forth. It is a way to realise how and where I am biased about something and how it affects my opinion of a particular person or circumstance. As I focus on my job. Taking my personal beliefs and social work values into account means I must know myself well. Self-knowledge is a social worker’s continued growth is or should be a required aspect. The social work student needs to understand the human condition he/she faces and to realise that his/her experiences are mediated through his/her own thought and knowledge processes, through his/her feelings and feeling processes, and through the integration and control of his/her own behaviour. It is more than knowing how you feel that you know yourself. You know how you think and how you behave. How much is the social worker, let alone a clear code of practice, governed by general ethical norms and social values? Ethics are moral concepts that underlie our conduct and are interchangeable in this context with such ideals as truth-telling and the valuation of people. Ethical codes on the other hand are not as generalizable, although I am founded on moral standards since I apply to specific occupations and the way professional conduct. I argue that these ethical codes cannot be considered objective or free of value as they have been created for a specific reason and areas such influenced by the philosophies contained in that context. The ethical code or code of practice defined by the British Social Workers’ Association describes social and vocational principles as follows: The field of social work encourages social change, solves problems in human relations and empowers and liberates people to increase welfare. Social work intervenes at points where people communicate with their surroundings using theories of human behaviour and social processes. Human rights and social justice principles are important for social work. The Association maintains that ethical practice must focus on service users’ needs Social workers who necessarily interfere and manipulate circumstances are thus a crucial component of social work practice, which is ethical decision-making. The Association is in place to advise social workers in various ways about what constitutes ethical decision-making (Osmo & Landau, 2006). Decisions must be based on the principles of social work ethics. Some of the problems that social workers have to address and that include them in the ethical policy centre to balance one person’s rights with another, public health and the problems of systemic and cultural injustice. This can make life hard because the social worker then needs to recognise how oppressive systems and processes are and how the ideals of social work can be used to overcome them. I have argued that practice and ethics are always idealistic, that is, too far from the case. Human rights, for instance, could mean ensuring that someone has the right information in order to get access to the assistance I need. Ethics codes can also stimulate a false sense of protection, as can be seen as offering an idea of how a social worker should behave when they cannot make laws in any situation. In order to behave ethically in a given situation, social workers must reflect objectively upon their own practice (Hobson?West & Millar, 2021). I am ethical guidelines that are implemented from outside. This means that I have nothing to say about a practitioner as an individual, and whether or not their personal beliefs are consistent or different from the values of social work. Here it is important to focus on practice. Without consideration of prior conduct and their relation to the code of ethics, the social worker may either leave the child at risk or violate the rights of a possibly innocent client at a significant disadvantage in decision making (Rollins, 2019). Social work intervention cannot be allowed to be aimed at if it is founded on true social ideals when it is genuinely ethical and is based on social justice notions. Organization and management ethos in some respects is not always well suited to the values and practises of social workers and some councils are not so willing to recognise users’ rights. Do these social workers practise within the context of human rights or do they not? The moral involvement of customers occurs at the personal level, and the wife insists that social workers do not feel bound by rules that do not function within a human rights and social justice context. I am arguing that a paradigm and working viewpoint on human rights in the light of social work practises. Continued personal and professional development and social work During ongoing professional growth, the practitioner can tend to achieve a certain degree of professionalism. I do not mean that reflection should be totally ignored and totally oriented towards the method. I advocate a more inclusive development approach with both results and processes of equal importance in the ongoing development of the practitioner. This integrated approach is done by reflection on personal values and the extent to which I can be said to be similar to social values. I believe that my beliefs conform to the values underlying social work. I believe that I understand perhaps how these principles control my actions, and how I handle customers requires further development. I also believe I must pay more attention to what it actually does and how it can be done to be representative of my work. Conclusion Obviously, it is necessary to understand social work ideals and social work practises as two sides of the same coin. I believe that a social worker cannot work efficiently without knowing how closely associated social values and the social work industry are (“Worker-Client Authority Relationships in Social Work”, 1959). The way we interpret these values, particularly if I tend to clash with what is considered to be right practice, requires careful reflection. Our values which be constant but are different, and this is a field that needs to be further developed, in my opinion. Adherent to a particular ethical code and principles in social work appears to mean that I and others who learn to be social workers already have a certain moral character (Pasini, 2015), and thus will behave in line with particular values that take the concern for the well-being of others into account and also a concern for themselves. I hope that will be the case in the end. Until then, my beliefs and a person’s meaning are very much in line with the values in the course I understood and what literature contains. I hope I become more efficient, reflective, and ethically conscious in my engagement with social values during this course. REFERENCES Logan, D. (2020).
