In the historical
context between migration and the social work profession, concepts such as
diversity and cultural competence brought about by migration have also affected
the ethical principles of the profession.
Migration and ethics in social work are complex and ever-changing issues
of policy and practice that social workers need to understand in order to
better serve their clients. Migration policies often interfere with social work
practice as they determine the rights status of migrant populations. In this
respect, it is important to consider national and international legislation on
migrants when working with migrant groups. The NASW Code of Ethics emphasizes
the importance of cultural competence and the provision of culturally informed
services that empower marginalized individuals and groups. However, social
workers may sometimes encounter many ethical problems while struggling against oppression,
racism, discrimination and inequalities. As a result,
social workers need to be aware of the legal and social work issues that affect
working with migrants, the policies that affect the rights and needs of their
clients, and the ethical values that guide their practice. By promoting
cultural competence and taking action against oppression, racism,
discrimination and inequalities, social workers can better serve migrant groups
and improve their well-being.
