Inside the cheat sheet
The 8 Social Work Practice Principles
Case judgment and ethics questions are where many candidates lose points. These core principles help you respond the way agencies and civil service examiners expect: within policy, professionally, and with client safety first.
- 1Client safety and wellbeing come first, within policy and the law
- 2Maintain confidentiality except where mandated reporting or safety requires disclosure
- 3Practice within your professional role, training, and scope of authority
- 4Document objectively — facts and observations, not personal opinions or assumptions
- 5Respect client self-determination while accounting for risk and safety
- 6Escalate to a supervisor when a situation exceeds your authority or expertise
- 7Apply cultural humility instead of assumptions based on background or circumstance
- 8Base decisions on agency policy and professional ethics, not personal reaction
The cheat sheet also includes key terminology, ethical principles, reading comprehension reminders, and a complete exam day checklist.
