N2 - Which questions could be useful for social workers facing moral
choices in daily practice? The article presents a concrete case and
some questions rooted in various ethical perspectives in social
work. The classical approaches, which include teleological,
deontological and rights-based approaches, are referred to as
universal and general principles. On the other hand, ‘situated’
positions are linked to specific and unique situations in
professional practice, such as ethics of care, narrative approaches
and face-to-face ethics. Linking different points of view to a
specific situation can help social workers understand its ethical
features and decide how to act.
