Abstract
THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPLICATION DURING SOCIAL WORK FIELD PRACTICE
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.5 Transforming social and healthcare services through capacity building and adoption of information technology
Oral Presentation
The Covid-19 has brought unprecedented situation in social work education, which had an impact in teaching and learning as well as field practice. Technology advances have greatly expanded opportunities for teaching institutions to deliver education and explore other methods. Social workers are challenged to embrace the use of information and communication technology-supported interventions and services to address emerging issues, challenges and risks in society. Therefore, student social workers should recognize that the use of digital technology and social media may pose threats to the practice of many ethical standards including but not limited to privacy and confidentiality, conflicts of interest, competence, and documentation and must obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to guard against unethical practice when using technology. Thus, this paper argues that irrespective of the technology advancement and adopting it as a mode of practice in social work, the effective and ethical use of technology should be guided by principles and code of conduct to avoid harm and violate client’ privacy.
