Importance of Integrity
Integrity is a vital value in social work that means being honest, ethical, and consistent in words and actions. Social workers with integrity follow professional standards, respect confidentiality, and make fair decisions without bias.
Integrity builds trust between the social worker and the client, creating a safe and supportive environment. It also ensures accountability and promotes transparency in the social work profession. By upholding integrity, social workers become role models and contribute to creating a just and respectful society.
