Description: There are four spheres of values within social work. The first is the more abstract field of moral philosophy that forms a backdrop to ethical debates in social work. The second is the distinct forms of legislation that have created the context for social work practice alongside providing legal responses to particular social work issues and cases. The third is the domain of political ideologies and the way that these have shaped and sculpted social work models, methods and practices. The final sphere is the historical emergence of social work as a profession and the struggle for a professional identity that has engaged social workers. Shardlow (2002: 32) refers to these spheres as extended (social work as a social activity), mid-range (nature of social work as a professional activity) and restricted (professional ethics and behaviour with clients) definitions of ethics and values
