Congratulations on purchasing Walking the Boundaries, 80 intriguing and challenging questions to help you and your team reflect on practice, values and ethics.
Every role within the human services sector comes with its grey areas. Walking the Boundaries is designed to encourage practitioners to move towards the grey areas with a sense of enquiry and curiosity.
By drawing on the experiences, skills, creativity and strengths of a group, these cards can help normalise discussions around ethical dilemmas and, as a result, enrich practice and culture.
Now that you have the cards, you will be wanting some fresh and innovative ideas for how to incorporate them into your work.
In this toolbox, you’ll find:
- the digital booklet which contains a more detailed exploration of the ethical dilemmas faced by human service workers as well as a range of stimulating activities and ideas for using the cards
- access to a digital set of the cards so you can use them anywhere, anytime
- ideas banks, blogs, card hack videos, interviews and other support material.
We hope you enjoy browsing this page and are inspired by the stories of others who have used the cards. Don’t forget to explore the range of other supporting materials and information at your fingertips any time you need it.
This toolbox is exclusively for people who have purchased the cards. We will continue to add resources and ideas, so check in regularly to see what’s new!
You may be able to answer some of these questions with a resounding ‘No!’ Others may cause you to waver, and still others may not pose a problem at all.
Anyone who works with people faces a barrage of ethical decisions every day.
Whenever we think about the subject of ethics in human services, the word ‘dilemma’ often comes to mind. Consequently, and for me, sadly, when decisions to questions concerning ethics are called for, human service workers can frequently react with confusion, fear or doubt.
