SWK 630 Discussion 6A
Order Description
Complete Policy Advocacy Challenge 13.6 in Jansson on p. 476-477. Read the examples very carefully and answer the following questions:
1. Consider your options in both of these situations. What would you do? If you quietly make an exception for the patient in the first example, will you continue to do
so—and risk getting dismissed—if you are confronted by other clients in similar circumstances? Would you resign? Would you form a team to confront the CEO and try to
get the policy overturned?
2. In the second example, knowing that the mandatory reporting laws are very clear and you could risk losing your license, do you report the family despite the agency
policy? Do you try again to talk to the director and change her mind? Do you take the issue to the media and expose her, risking your own job? How far would you go to
sabotage a policy you felt was unjust?
3. Think about and comment on the impact differences in race/ethnicity, gender and class might have in these scenarios.
