A social worker is currently working with an adult client who receives services at the local community outreach program. One day the social worker was at his son's middle school to attend a music concert that he is performing in. The social worker notices his client is also present in the lobby of the school. However, he does not engage with the client. Later, the social worker's son introduces a girl who is also performing in the concert. The client comes over and states, "I didn't know our kids were performing in the concert together?!" The social worker remains professional but feels a bit uncomfortable. During the next scheduled appointment with the client, what should the social worker do?
a. Inform the client about the potential for a conflict of interest to arise and discuss the potential dual relationship and ways to appropriately address this issue.
b. Inform the client that she needs to remove her child from the school because his son also attends that school.
c. Avoid the client at all costs when picking up his son and should inform his son to no longer associate with that particular girl during school.
d. Say nothing because there is no issue.
According the the NASW Code of Ethics, 1999--1.06 Conflicts of Interests, social workers should inform clients when a real or potential conflict of interest arises. In addition, the social worker should take reasonable steps to resolve the issue in a manner that makes a clients' interests primary and protects the clients' interests to the greatest extent possible. Lastly, social workers should not engage in dual or multiple relationships with clients or former clients in which there is a risk of exploitation or potential harm to a client. A "dual relationship" in the field of social work is a situation where multiple roles exist between a therapist (case worker) and client. In instances when a dual relationship is unavoidable, social workers should take steps to protect clients' and are responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries.
