Ethical Practice of Mandatory Reporting
Values
- Our beliefs about life, spirituality, culture (our own and others)
- How we view subcultures, different ages, disabilities, lifestyles, etc.
Ethics
- How we practice our values
- Set of principles, rules or standards that govern or direct our behavior
Our behavior and beliefs are influenced by what our values and ethics are and how they interact with other aspects of who we are. There are many other influences like how we were brought up, our religious beliefs, cultural heritage, what we believe about people with disabilities and about people who are older. Then there are the external influences like peers, your boss and agency policy.
