The Central Council for the Education and Training of Social Workers (CCETSW) (1976) defines values as: “a value determines what a person thinks he ought to do, which may or may not be the same as what he wants to do, or what it is in his interest to do, or what in fact he actually does” (pp.14).

Oxford Dictionary of Social Work and Social Care. Oxford; Oxford University Press.The term values can be very vague. Timms (1983 p107) cites a literature review that discovered 180 different definitions. ‘Particular type of belief that people hold about what is regarded as worthy or valuable’Can be objects-what they are worthProfessionally – ethical principles of how people should be treated, what ideas or actions are worthy or un-worthy, good or bad, right or wrong.IFSW - Respect for equality, human worth, dignity, human rights, social justice.Cross over between values and principles.NB: professional principles aren’t necessary the same as a person’s own values. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs but must work within the values of their profession in calibration with other professions.

Working definitions of values and social work valuesIn everyday usage, ‘values’ is often used to refer to one or all of religious, moral, cultural, political or ideological beliefs, principles, attitudes, opinions or preferences. In social work, ‘values’ can be regarded as particular types of beliefs that people hold about what is regarded as worthy or valuable. In the context of professional practice, the use of the term ‘belief’ reflects the status that values have as stronger than mere opinions or preferences. The term ‘social work values’ refers to a range of beliefs about what is regarded as worthy or valuable in a social work context (general beliefs about the nature of the good society, general principles about how to achieve this through actions, and the desirable qualities or character traits of professional practitioners).
