Staff must meet their ethical responsibilities.

What would you do if these issues occurred in your workplace?

1. You overhear a staff member verbally abusing a young client.
2. Two staff members are gossiping about the behaviour of a client. They are laughing about the behaviour. One of the staff members has no responsibility for the treatment of the client. Those are experienced staff members who should know that this is inappropriate behaviour.
3. You notice that sometimes when one of your clients is moved from bed to a chair there seem to be bruises on the client's arms. You check and discover that on occasions when the bruising occurs a particular staff member is responsible for moving the client.
4. You have noticed that a child in the care facility in which you work has not eaten lunch for the last two weeks. You ask the child why and are told that due to religious taboos they are not allowed to eat the food they have been given. You talk to the kitchen staff and they say it is just too bad, the child has to eat the food that has been given.
