Every human service profession, organisation and business is governed by the laws of the land. Most are held accountable to codes of conduct created from within their organisation or profession as well. But many practitioners—including social workers, counsellors, teachers and carers—face dozens of everyday ethical decisions regarding both clients and colleagues that may not be clear cut.
What do you do when decisions call for actions that are not defined by the law or enshrined within a code of conduct? When there is no absolute right or wrong answer, where do you draw the boundaries?
Walking the Boundaries offers 80 probing, surprising, challenging—even confronting—questions that reflect the ambiguities and complexities of professional practice. Designed by social workers for all human service practitioners, Walking the Boundaries can be used to:
- Reflect on practice, values and ethical dilemmas
- Explore the impacts of context and organisational culture on decision-making
- Open discussions about risk, confidentiality and privacy
- Develop strategies for managing uncertainty and staying safe
- Stimulate forthright, fun, unpredictable and revealing conversations with colleagues, supervisors, teams and new professionals!
Walking the Boundaries is not just about ‘doing no harm’ to clients, examining codes of conduct, or protecting practitioners from liability or litigation. This powerful, provocative set of digital cards is designed to help build the skills, knowledge, self-awareness and professional transparency that lie at the heart of respectful practice.

‘Walking the Boundaries is a resource that can assist workers to move towards grey areas. These cards can engender a sense of enquiry and curiosity; they invite us to reflect on our purpose, values, beliefs, blind spots and stories … and in so doing, they are a very useful too for building practice wisdom.’
