The KIVU Gap Year is up to some amazing things this year. For those of you who haven't followed our project to help High School graduates increase their comprehensive global understanding, I'd love to share some new insights.
Washington D.C.
At the beginning of January, after living a semester living interning and attending academic courses in Urban Denver and Urban Philadelphia, The KIVU Gap Year students spent a week on Capital Hill in Washington D.C. We went as a guest of Bread for the World to learn how lobbyist actual gain traction with issues that are important for Congressional Members to hear.
After a quick lesson on how to approach leaders on the hill, they met with their congressional representatives from their own home states to talk about the issue of global hunger.
Without exception, as we were helping to set these meetings up, congressional members cleared their schedules to meet with our students as a sign that Washington is interested in hearing the voices of the youth.
After one particular meeting where a certain representative said, "You know, we do internships here on the hill for students like you. Maybe you should think about coming to be a part of our team." One of the students polished up a resume and went back up to the hill to personally deliver their internship application to their representative.
This is what The KIVU Gap Year is all about. Placing students in positions where they can broaden their understanding of how the world works before they go to the University gives them exposure that they may not have ever had the chance to be around. Relationships with others, understanding how people work in their chosen vocation, and working on a deep understanding of who they've been created to be allows for foundational blocks of the future to be laid in place.
Today we have one of our groups in Rwanda working closely with partners in business, social work, education, and health care. Students have the rare opportunity to see first hand how African culture works, how education differs from their own, and they gain first hand exposure to developing businesses in one of the gems of Africa.
Rwanda has been through a tough history over the last two decades, and watching the country emerge to be a place where investors from all over the world are rushing to see a brighter future, gives students seeds of hope. When they return, our hope is they will have a new fresh look on Globalization, and be able to apply these concepts to whatever field of study they might choose to be a part of going forward.
Our program is pushing the boundaries on experiential education, and their classroom isn't about sitting in a conference room in lectures, but actually being on the ground with people doing the work. We believe this exposure is PRICElESS for the growth and development of today's students.
The Philippines
The other KIVU Gap Year group is in The Philippines working with International Care ministries of the Philippines. This organization is targeting the poorest of the poor people in several regions of Southeast Asia with new health care provisions, feeding programs, long-term micro finance, and sustainable living.
Students in the Philippines get to see how a large NGO operation outside of America works fluidly with another culture, and they provide hands and feet in certain operational projects ICM is interested in growing.
Overall, their experience in Southeast Asia may be a link to understanding how donor programs function, translating what works and what doesn't work in a particular culture, and they have a broader view of what their gifts might be because they've been put into environments that allow for those gifts to come out.
We are so excited as we look to grow our enrollment, our locations, and our exposure to different parts of the world in the future. The KIVU Gap Year is partnering with Universities looking for Freshmen who have a larger view of the world, an attitude of service to make the world a better place, and a well of knowledge they can draw on when they leave their University studies.
I would like to invite you to come on over and check out what we're up to. The KIVU Gap year website is http://www.kivugapyear.com, where our students write blogs, you can get up to date information, and we can help you with your decision about where you or your student is going to be next year.
In the months to come, our students will be hiking Kilimanjaro in Africa, living in Aman Jordan, and walking the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land. Much Much Much more on where they're going–coming soon.

In his motion for a TRO, Plaintiff argues he has shown a likelihood of success on the merits
of his claims for violation of California Business and Professions Code § 17200 and promissory
estoppel. The Court interprets Plaintiff's argument regarding his claim for promissory estoppel as
applying to his claim for fraud. The elements of a fraud claim are false representation, knowledge of
falsity, intent to defraud, justifiable reliance, and damages. Vess v. Ciba-Geigy Corp. USA, 317 F.3d
1097, 1106 (9th Cir. 2003). Plaintiff alleges in a verified Complaint and in his motion for a TRO that
a WAMU representative made a knowingly false statement to him with the intent to defraud, upon
which he justifiably relied, causing damages. Accordingly, Plaintiff has at least raised serious
questions going to the merits with respect to his fraud claim.
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's application for a TRO is granted. Defendants and their
agents, employees, representatives, successors, partners, assigns, attorneys, and any and all acting in
concert or participation with them are enjoined from engaging in or performing any act to deprive
Plaintiff of ownership or possession of Plaintiff's real property located at 919 Brass Way, Encinitas,
California 92024, including, but not limited to, proceeding with the non-judicial foreclosure sale
scheduled for March 18, 2011 and recording any deeds relating to the property. Defendants are
ordered to show cause, on or before March 22, 2011, why a preliminary injunction should not be
issued enjoining Defendants from taking such actions until termination of this case. A hearing shall
be held on Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction on March 24, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. in
Courtroom 10. This temporary restraining order shall remain in place for 14 days or until this Court
issues an Order on Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, whichever shall first occur. The
Court notes, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a)(1), the Court "may issue a preliminary
injunction only on notice to the adverse party." Furthermore, the Court points out a TRO is binding
only upon parties and their officers, agents, and employees or those acting in concert with them "who
receive actual notice of [the TRO] by personal service or otherwise." Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
Accordingly, Plaintiff shall forthwith serve a copy of this Order upon all Defendants.

Telecoms & Digital Communications: is a single European Market a Credible Possibility?
DG Connect is pushing hard to radically shift the European digital communications landscape – but in the current economic climate, Neelie Kroes is facing an uphill struggle.
Digital Overhaul
Neelie Kroes is proposing a complete overhaul of the EU telecoms and digital communications sector, urging the 27 EU Member States to align on mobile spectrum and fibre broadband with the ultimate objective of creating a single European digital market. Recent proposals from the Commission, including its pithily named Commission Recommendation on consistent non-discrimination obligations and costing methodologies to promote competition and enhance the broadband investment environment, seek to promote mergers among telco operators, provide for a more prescriptive Europe-wide regimen on pricing regulation, and propose fundamental changes in the sale and management of broadband and mobile spectra. On the table is nothing short of the most radical restructuring of the very fundamentals of the European digital communications market. So what is the likelihood of this being achieved?

"The way to describe power of attorney is that you're basically asking another person to walk in your shoes." If you can go over to the bank and take all of your money out of that bank, so can your power of attorney.
Wills and Estates | Power of Attorneys
A power of attorney is, basically, you're giving a person access to your property. One of the important considerations with reference to power of attorney is that a person has to be competent.
A wills and estates attorney handles the complicated process of sorting out legal and financial issues at the end of a life. Attorneys help people protect their families and their assets by writing wills and setting up trusts that simplify inheritance issues.

A professional basketball court measures 94 feet in length and 50 feet in width. The court is divided by a mid-court line and includes a free throw line that is 15 feet from the basket and a three-point arc at 23 feet, 9 inches.
College basketball courts keep the same measurements, though the three-point line rests at a shorter distance of 20 feet, 9 inches from the center of the hoop. High school courts typically measure 84 feet in length and keep the 50-foot width, though courts in older gymnasiums may be even smaller. The three-point arc at the high school level is 19 feet, 9-inches from the basket.

Last night: Foo Fighters at Red Rocks
The Foo Fighters at Red Rocks were loud last night -- some of the highest decibel levels I've heard in a while (I'm not complaining, I just can't hear you).
It's obvious to anyone who has seen these guys that Dave Grohl simply adores being a frontman, and has found his calling in life. His affability greased the wheels of the show and trickled into everything they performed -- it was such a fun night. Musically it was a treat to watch Taylor Hawkins (the man, the myth, the machine) and Pat Smear (formerly of The Germs) play, as well as the two kickass women on their impressive stringed instruments (a cello and a violin methinks, but I was never an orchestra kid so it could be, like, a viola or something).
See all my photos here.

Circle, a Majestic Musical
Circle, a Musical Majestic Show
…"This is the tale of a people… And the story of a Circle".
"There is a light and shimmering thread that encircles and unites us all.
In this fine and glittering web we are standing forever bound."
Circle is a statement of the Bosnian born composer Dino Zonic. His mission through music is to unite people and to promulgate positive ideals and values. Circle conveys a powerful message of strength through unity.
Circle is a majestic and unique theatrical show that moves from the visual language of cinema to a radiant live theatrical spectacle.
Circle transcends place and time, with a music, theatrical atmosphere and landscape, 3D applications, and costumes inspired by range of diverse cultures. Circle is a instrumental, vocal and acrobatic performance with a music and special effects that immerse the audience into a world of fantasy, adventure, intrigue, and through the newest technology of high definition 3D holographic video projection system.
Circle is a tale of the musicians from multicultural city of Sarajevo, on a perilous and victorious journey to fulfill their shared destiny, to spread the voice of unity and connect everyone in the world. Along the way, as their world comes under attack and starts collapsing, the cast and musicians confront characters and events that represent the forces of destruction. The cast of 80 captures the imagination through the strength of unity shown as: joined effort by those who believe can achieve anything.
Circle is dedicated to the generations with the mission of invoking the imagination, the senses, and the emotions of the audiences all over the world.
At the end, the Circle is truly a quest for the self: who am I? And who are we?, and the unity and connection with nature we meet when we realize we are but one people on the one planet.
(Opening song of CIRCLE)
From rising East to the setting West
From beginning to the end
From the deepest South to the farthest North
This Circle spreads through the universe
It reaches to infinity far beyond reality
It casts no shadow, nor unease.
Come on, raise your voice and sing.
Love is the law. The law is for all.
Maestro Dino Zonic's dynamic score is the driving force behind CIRCLE. It is both conventional and unconventional, drawing upon classical, rock, Eastern European sensibilities, and electronic sounds to create a highly charged theatrical experience. Zonic's creation, which evolved out of his wartime traumas, manages to portray the essence of UNITY and redemption through his exhilarating music and staging.

blinkBox, a London-based startup, has just opened up the public beta of a video greeting card service that helps users send their friends short clips from movies and TV shows.
The company's line-up is not the newest of the new, but it's not no-name content either, with the likes of Universal (GE) and Warner Bros. (TWX) signed on to provide movies like The Big Lebowski and Superman Returns. blinkBox has done the hard work of getting big media companies to sign up for a new way of distributing their content with a little startup, so as you can imagine, the options and functionality are somewhat limited.
For instance, I chose to make a "Blink" out of The Matrix. I had my choice of eight different short clips from the movie, and was able to edit the clip to anything under a minute long and add my own title message. Then I could elect to get embed code and/or send out a link to my creation via email or SMS. I tried to embed the Blink I created in this post but was experiencing some hiccups, which I'll attribute to me popping in mid rollout. So above is a screenshot instead.
blinkBox, having gone out and scored these big media deals, already has a business model in place. The site features prominent links to rent or download a movie or TV show, but I wasn't able to fully test these options as they're for Windows only.
blinkBox is a year-and-a-half old and has had two rounds of investment, originally from Arts Alliance and Eden Ventures and more this June from Nordic Venture Partners. We don't know the amount. Mika Salmi, president of global digital media at MTV Networks (VIA.B), sits on the company's board.

Our theater workshop in Shanghai gave members of the Grass Stage some new performance ideas. Afterward, the broKen ZirKus entertained in a broken building, part of a district for artists, which is threatened to be demolished soon.
Shanghai itself appears to be a maze of old and new archetecture piled on top of each other. After couchsurfing for a few days, we camped in the grass between two apartment blocks, thanks to the welder who fixed our bikes for free and gave us his work space.
Our first week on the road to Wuhan, we have been taking time to perform in cities and for the people who invite us to eat dumplings, duck eggs and bamboo in the countryside.
We found some other funky alternative ways to travel, like a truck with an open tractor engine. But we are still the most attractive for a lot of teenagers . . . Even when we crash a funeral and play with the Chinese musicians.
Directly from the quiet, clean, polite Japan, to the noisy, dirty, rude China — a sign that the worldwide capitalism doesn't bulldoze all differences between regions. However, a few things remain, such as over-packaging produce, polluting waters with sludge, and mixing all kinds of trash, even in the Jinjia Ecological Village. Interestingly enough, every free piece of land is used to plant vegetables.

These sweet potato ginger protein balls are simple to make, warming and a great way to use up leftover sweet potato!
Sweet Potato and fresh ginger taste so warmly, vibrantly, autumnal together. Set off with nut butter and rolled in coconut, linseeds or cocoa, these vegan little energy bites are as moreish as truffles. I nearly couldn't take pictures of this recipe, because my two-year-old daughter went BANANAS for these. Her tiny little hand just wouldn't stop grabbing at the balls of yum.
Sweet potatoes are so versatile that I often bake an extra one for use in other meals. I roasted mine for this recipe, but you could also steam or boil it (though then you won't get to nibble at the leftover crispy skins!). You just need them to be cooked enough to mash. Then, all you have to do is blitz it all together, roll into balls and store in the fridge. A few balls make a lovely snack or energizing breakfast.
- 125g (1 ½ cups) rolled oats
- 200g (1 cup) cooked sweet potato, mashed (about 1 large potato)
- 125g (½ cup) nut butter
- Large pinch of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon skimmed milk powder or vanilla protein powder
- Coconut, milled linseeds, cocoa, sesame seeds, chopped nuts etc… whatever you have or prefer for rolling
- Blitz all the ingredients in a high-speed blender until combined. If your blender isn't high-speed, pulse the oats first to make them a bit finer, then add the remaining ingredients, or combine by hand. Roll into teaspoon-sized balls, then roll in the coconut, cocoa etc… and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Review: Froothie Optimum 9400 High-Speed Blender
You've heard me talking about my new high-speed blender for a few months now. I rarely accept review products so I wanted to give it a really thorough test before posting an actual review of it. Well, I can definitely say that owning my Froothie has been amazing. A whole new world of healthy eating has been opened up to me and I have saved a lot of money on nut milk and by using up vegetables in super-fast soup. The Froothie is similar to a Vitamix, Blendtec, Ninja etc… but it's even more powerful.
So, what does it do?
I can honestly say that I will never, ever, make a milk and butter-laden cheese sauce again. A few vegetables (cauliflower and carrots), some vegetable stock and a scoop of nutritional yeast (available in many UK supermarkets and health food shops), blitzed up in seconds and I have a creamy, cheese-y, vegan cheese sauce that is perfect for so many uses. I loved it in vegetable lasagne, as mac n cheese and poured over vegetables.
If I have vegetables that are looking past their prime, then I just need to blitz them, raw, with some stock and herbs into an instant soup. Raw carrots and other hard vegetables don't stand a chance – they're blitzed in seconds in my blender. And the best part is that the Froothie heats it through the friction of the six blades in just a few minutes, preserving nutrients that can be lost through overheating. Hot soup in a couple of minutes. Seriously.
Nut milk? The Optimum blender is so strong that you don't even have to soak the nuts. Just throw in a cup of hazelnuts, cashews, almonds – whatever you like, fill the jug halfway with water and blitz. The blender comes with a fine-mesh nut bag, so you just strain it through that and keep it in the fridge. It is sooo clean and fresh-tasting. No additives, just nuts. Perfect for overnight oats, in coffee or just to drink. I stock up on nuts when they're on sale so I can always blitz up a batch. Bag of nuts to jug of nut milk in about two minutes.
Then of course there are smoothies, crushed ice (hello, cocktails!), nut butters, hoummus…
Why the Froothie Optimum 9400?
1. Power – This baby is powerful. It is far more powerful than even a Vitamix or Blendtec. In fact, this bad boy can even blend rocks with its six stainless steel blades! Not that I'll be trying that… I had a standard blender before and I found that I was constantly scraping the sides down and it didn't really blitz food. I tended to use my hand held stick blender instead, but that wasn't useful for large batches and certainly couldn't cope with raw vegetables.
2. One jug – Unlike most other high-speed blenders, with the Froothie you can use the same BPA-free 2 litre jug for wet and dry – so no faffing about changing jugs.
3. Self-cleaning – Yup, it's self-cleaning. Rinse. Add water. Blitz for a few seconds. Admire the sparkle.
4. Money-back guarantee – Froothie have a 30 day money-back guarantee. That's a month to fall in love with it.
5. Price – Maybe you wanted a Vitamix but weren't happy with the £600 price tag, well the Optimum is on sale at the moment for only £329!
I wouldn't write any of this if I didn't really, truly, think this blender was amazing. My old blender was stored in a cupboard in its box. This one hasn't left my countertop since the day I got it. So far I've made Cauliflower and Chocolate Ice Lollies, Coconut Avocado Fries with Cashew, Cardamom and Coconut Dip, Beet Nut Butter Cups, Avocado and Hazelnut Milk Coffee Smoothie, Beet and Raspberry Chia Jam as well as TONS of soups, smoothies, nut milks and other recipes for the family.
Froothie very kindly gave me the blender to try, and it is by far the best appliance I own. If you order it through my affiliate link for the Froothie Optimum 9400, you'll get an extra two years free warranty taking you to a free seven years warranty! Just mention Veggie Desserts at checkout.
Disclosure: I received a blender from Froothie. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

Subscribe To Tell Us Your Favorite Movie Of 2013 Updates
I've already subscribed
The lists don't lie: Park Chan-wook's Stoker was the best movie of 2013. Or, at the very least, it is the only movie that made it onto all four Year-End Top 10 lists mapped out by our movie contributors: Sean; Kristy; Eric; and Mack.
The creepy and incestuous thriller topped Oscar-contending powerhouses like Gravity and 12 Years a Slave, which each ended up on three out of the four lists. And in a bit of a surprise, the breathtaking coming-of-age teen drama The Spectacular Now charmed three of our movie writers, landing on Sean, Eric and Mack's lists. Guess they are suckers for the filmography of the late John Hughes.
Several other films landed on two of the four lists. Our writers singled out Spike Jonze's futuristic romance Her, the devastating foreign film The Broken Circle Breakdown, Jeff Nichols' Mud and Disney's winning animation effort Frozen as some of this year's best films.
And now we want to hear from you. What was YOUR favorite film from 2013? Was it one of the ones we selected? Something totally different? What did we miss? What do we still need to see? We're putting the finishing touches on what was a spectacular year of film, and we're beginning to look ahead to 2014. We'll have lists of our most anticipated movies for the upcoming year up on the site before the week's end.
But for now, the floor is yours. Hit the comments section below, tell us your favorite movie from 2013, and explain why. Hopefully CB readers can comb through the suggestions listed below and filter out more than a few must-see movies from the year that just ended. While you think about your selection, enjoy the Stoker trailer. It really is a work of art.

Either I'm cursed, or Apple quality control has gone way downhill. Last week I got a replacement for my iPhone with a dark spot on the screen. Sadly, the new one had a defective touchscreen that caused problems when typing. And now this…
Earlier today, I made the 40+ mile trek to the Apple Store. Again. The guy at the Genius Bar graciously swapped out my because of the touchscreen problems, and I went happily on my way. At least for awhile.
Later in the day, I noticed that my iPhone wouldn't connect to the 3G network. Instead, I got the dreaded "E" alongside my five bar connection indicating that it's connected to the EDGE network. It transmits data just fine, but it does so slowly.
I checked to be sure that 3G was enabled – it was. I tried re-booting the handset. I tried resetting the network settings. I tried resetting all of the settings. I even tried restoring the phone and updating from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 4.3 – despite the fact that I was giving up the possibility of jailbreaking my phone anytime soon.
And guess what? None of these things worked. I've also ruled out both an app conflict and corrupted data, as the problem occurs even before I sync anything onto the phone after doing the restore.
And before you start blaming the AT&T signal… I've tested my phone all over town, and it won't pick up a 3G signal anywhere, even though I've previously latched onto a 3G signal in all of these places. And yes, other people have been able to get a 3G signal in these places even though I can't.
What now? This sure smells like yet another hardware problem, though I wonder if the SIM card could somehow be at fault? Seems unlikely since it was working fine just hours before in a different handset. If this phone turns out to be defective, that would be my third one.
So how do I deal with this? My best guess is that AT&T will blame Apple, and Apple will blame AT&T. Lovely. Honestly, I'm starting to wish that I had just sucked it up and dealt with the dark spot on my original iPhone's screen.
Update: I called Apple after verifying it was a problem with the phone itself, and not the network. They FedEx'd a new phone, and I was back in business the next morning.

Happy Monday!
Wow – what a weekend, I don't even know where to begin! It began off wonderfully with a visit to our cute little new house, coffee and cronuts with a friend, and a night out at Wicked (which was 'wicked' – sorry, I had too!). But overall Sunday was… a struggle! Packing, packing and more packing, followed by locking ourselves out of the house and Kevin serious suggesting he try and climb the exterior of our three story building… let's just say I'm glad it's over!
So bring on the new week!! Here are five things to help get your Monday off to a great start…
– I love filling my mind with random facts, so was thrilled to find this list of 16 animal facts that make the world a better place.
– Excited about the new season of Downton Abbey? Fill the time until it hits NZ screens with this wonderful little spin-off… Downton Tabby! Downton + cats = perfection!
– Speaking off cats, check out this awesome sleeping cat calendar! I can't wait to lay my hands on it – it's going to make my desk at work a thousand times nicer.
– Need new measuring cups? Then take a look at these gorgeous hedgehog ones! I've been coveting these for months – someone needs to get them!
– And finally, here's a great reminder for when life gets a little overwhelming (I could've used this yesterday!)

MSW Comp Prep - NASW Code of Ethics Responsibilities To Clients
Terms in this set (16)
Commitment to Clients
Social workers' primary responsibility is to promote the well-being of clients. In general, clients' interests are primary. However, social workers' responsibility to the larger society or specific legal obligations may on limited occasions supersede the loyalty owed clients, and clients should be so advised.
(Examples include when a social worker is required by law to report that a client has abused a child or has threatened to harm self or others.)
Social workers respect and promote the right of clients to self-determination and assist clients in their efforts to identify and clarify their goals. Social workers may limit clients' right to self-determination when, in the social workers' professional judgment, clients' actions or potential actions pose a serious, foreseeable, and imminent risk to themselves or others.
Informed Consent
(a) Social workers should provide services to clients only in the context of a professional relationship based, when appropriate, on valid informed consent. Social workers should use clear and understandable language to inform clients of the purpose of the services, risks related to the services, limits to services because of the requirements of a third-party payer, relevant costs, reasonable alternatives, clients' right to refuse or withdraw consent, and the time frame covered by the consent. Social workers should provide clients with an opportunity to ask questions.
(b) In instances when clients are not literate or have difficulty understanding the primary language used in the practice setting, social workers should take steps to ensure clients' comprehension. This may include providing clients with a detailed verbal explanation or arranging for a qualified interpreter or translator whenever possible.
(c) In instances when clients lack the capacity to provide informed consent, social workers should protect clients' interests by seeking permission from an appropriate third party, informing clients consistent with the clients' level of understanding. In such instances social workers should seek to ensure that the third party acts in a manner consistent with clients' wishes and interests. Social workers should take reasonable steps to enhance such clients' ability to give informed consent.
(d) In instances when clients are receiving services involuntarily, social workers should provide information about the nature and extent of services and about the extent of clients' right to refuse service.
(e) Social workers who provide services via electronic media (such as computer, telephone, radio, and television) should inform recipients of the limitations and risks associated with such services.
(f) Social workers should obtain clients' informed consent before audiotaping or videotaping clients or permitting observation of services to clients by a third party.
(a) Social workers should provide services and represent themselves as competent only within the boundaries of their education, training, license, certification, consultation received, supervised experience, or other relevant professional experience.
(b) Social workers should provide services in substantive areas or use intervention techniques or approaches that are new to them only after engaging in appropriate study, training, consultation, and supervision from people who are competent in those interventions or techniques.
(c) When generally recognized standards do not exist with respect to an emerging area of practice, social workers should exercise careful judgment and take responsible steps (including appropriate education, research, training, consultation, and supervision) to ensure the competence of their work and to protect clients from harm.
Cultural Competence and Social Diversity
(a) Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures.
(b) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients' cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients' cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups.
(c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical disability.
Conflicts of Interest
(a) Social workers should be alert to and avoid conflicts of interest that interfere with the exercise of professional discretion and impartial judgment. Social workers should inform clients when a real or potential conflict of interest arises and take reasonable steps to resolve the issue in a manner that makes the clients' interests primary and protects clients' interests to the greatest extent possible. In some cases, protecting clients' interests may require termination of the professional relationship with proper referral of the client.
(b) Social workers should not take unfair advantage of any professional relationship or exploit others to further their personal, religious, political, or business interests.
(c) 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 the client. In instances when dual or multiple relationships are unavoidable, social workers should take steps to protect clients and are responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries. (Dual or multiple relationships occur when social workers relate to clients in more than one relationship, whether professional, social, or business. Dual or multiple relationships can occur simultaneously or consecutively.)
(d) When social workers provide services to two or more people who have a relationship with each other (for example, couples, family members), social workers should clarify with all parties which individuals will be considered clients and the nature of social workers' professional obligations to the various individuals who are receiving services. Social workers who anticipate a conflict of interest among the individuals receiving services or who anticipate having to perform in potentially conflicting roles (for example, when a social worker is asked to testify in a child custody dispute or divorce proceedings involving clients) should clarify their role with the parties involved and take appropriate action to minimize any conflict of interest.
Privacy and Confidentiality
(a) Social workers should respect clients' right to privacy. Social workers should not solicit private information from clients unless it is essential to providing services or conducting social work evaluation or research. Once private information is shared, standards of confidentiality apply.
(b) Social workers may disclose confidential information when appropriate with valid consent from a client or a person legally authorized to consent on behalf of a client.
(c) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of all information obtained in the course of professional service, except for compelling professional reasons. The general expectation that social workers will keep information confidential does not apply when disclosure is necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm to a client or other identifiable person. In all instances, social workers should disclose the least amount of confidential information necessary to achieve the desired purpose; only information that is directly relevant to the purpose for which the disclosure is made should be revealed.
(d) Social workers should inform clients, to the extent possible, about the disclosure of confidential information and the potential consequences, when feasible before the disclosure is made. This applies whether social workers disclose confidential information on the basis of a legal requirement or client consent.
(e) Social workers should discuss with clients and other interested parties the nature of confidentiality and limitations of clients' right to confidentiality. Social workers should review with clients circumstances where confidential information may be requested and where disclosure of confidential information may be legally required. This discussion should occur as soon as possible in the social worker-client relationship and as needed throughout the course of the relationship.
(f) When social workers provide counseling services to families, couples, or groups, social workers should seek agreement among the parties involved concerning each individual's right to confidentiality and obligation to preserve the confidentiality of information shared by others. Social workers should inform participants in family, couples, or group counseling that social workers cannot guarantee that all participants will honor such agreements.
(g) Social workers should inform clients involved in family, couples, marital, or group counseling of the social worker's, employer's, and agency's policy concerning the social worker's disclosure of confidential information among the parties involved in the counseling.
(h) Social workers should not disclose confidential information to third-party payers unless clients have authorized such disclosure.
(i) Social workers should not discuss confidential information in any setting unless privacy can be ensured. Social workers should not discuss confidential information in public or semipublic areas such as hallways, waiting rooms, elevators, and restaurants.
(j) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients during legal proceedings to the extent permitted by law. When a court of law or other legally authorized body orders social workers to disclose confidential or privileged information without a client's consent and such disclosure could cause harm to the client, social workers should request that the court withdraw the order or limit the order as narrowly as possible or maintain the records under seal, unavailable for public inspection.
(k) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients when responding to requests from members of the media.
(l) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients' written and electronic records and other sensitive information. Social workers should take reasonable steps to ensure that clients' records are stored in a secure location and that clients' records are not available to others who are not authorized to have access.
(m) Social workers should take precautions to ensure and maintain the confidentiality of information transmitted to other parties through the use of computers, electronic mail, facsimile machines, telephones and telephone answering machines, and other electronic or computer technology. Disclosure of identifying information should be avoided whenever possible.
(n) Social workers should transfer or dispose of clients' records in a manner that protects clients' confidentiality and is consistent with state statutes governing records and social work licensure.
(o) Social workers should take reasonable precautions to protect client confidentiality in the event of the social worker's termination of practice, incapacitation, or death.
(p) Social workers should not disclose identifying information when discussing clients for teaching or training purposes unless the client has consented to disclosure of confidential information.
(q) Social workers should not disclose identifying information when discussing clients with consultants unless the client has consented to disclosure of confidential information or there is a compelling need for such disclosure.
(r) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of deceased clients consistent with the preceding standards.
Access to Records
(a) Social workers should provide clients with reasonable access to records concerning the clients. Social workers who are concerned that clients' access to their records could cause serious misunderstanding or harm to the client should provide assistance in interpreting the records and consultation with the client regarding the records. Social workers should limit clients' access to their records, or portions of their records, only in exceptional circumstances when there is compelling evidence that such access would cause serious harm to the client. Both clients' requests and the rationale for withholding some or all of the record should be documented in clients' files.
(b) When providing clients with access to their records, social workers should take steps to protect the confidentiality of other individuals identified or discussed in such records.
Sexual Relationships
(a) Social workers should under no circumstances engage in sexual activities or sexual contact with current clients, whether such contact is consensual or forced.
(b) Social workers should not engage in sexual activities or sexual contact with clients' relatives or other individuals with whom clients maintain a close personal relationship when there is a risk of exploitation or potential harm to the client. Sexual activity or sexual contact with clients' relatives or other individuals with whom clients maintain a personal relationship has the potential to be harmful to the client and may make it difficult for the social worker and client to maintain appropriate professional boundaries. Social workers—not their clients, their clients' relatives, or other individuals with whom the client maintains a personal relationship—assume the full burden for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries.
(c) Social workers should not engage in sexual activities or sexual contact with former clients because of the potential for harm to the client. If social workers engage in conduct contrary to this prohibition or claim that an exception to this prohibition is warranted because of extraordinary circumstances, it is social workers—not their clients—who assume the full burden of demonstrating that the former client has not been exploited, coerced, or manipulated, intentionally or unintentionally.
(d) Social workers should not provide clinical services to individuals with whom they have had a prior sexual relationship. Providing clinical services to a former sexual partner has the potential to be harmful to the individual and is likely to make it difficult for the social worker and individual to maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
Physical Contact
Social workers should not engage in physical contact with clients when there is a possibility of psychological harm to the client as a result of the contact (such as cradling or caressing clients).
Social workers who engage in appropriate physical contact with clients are responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries that govern such physical contact.
Sexual Harassment
Social workers should not sexually harass clients. Sexual harassment includes sexual advances, sexual solicitation, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
Derogatory Language
Social workers should not use derogatory language in their written or verbal communications to or about clients. Social workers should use accurate and respectful language in all communications to and about clients.
Payment for Services
(a) When setting fees, social workers should ensure that the fees are fair, reasonable, and commensurate with the services performed. Consideration should be given to clients' ability to pay.
(b) Social workers should avoid accepting goods or services from clients as payment for professional services. Bartering arrangements, particularly involving services, create the potential for conflicts of interest, exploitation, and inappropriate boundaries in social workers' relationships with clients. Social workers should explore and may participate in bartering only in very limited circumstances when it can be demonstrated that such arrangements are an accepted practice among professionals in the local community, considered to be essential for the provision of services, negotiated without coercion, and entered into at the client's initiative and with the client's informed consent. Social workers who accept goods or services from clients as payment for professional services assume the full burden of demonstrating that this arrangement will not be detrimental to the client or the professional relationship.
(c) Social workers should not solicit a private fee or other remuneration for providing services to clients who are entitled to such available services through the social workers' employer or agency.
Clients Who Lack Decision-Making Capacity
When social workers act on behalf of clients who lack the capacity to make informed decisions, social workers should take reasonable steps to safeguard the interests and rights of those clients.
Interruption of Services
Social workers should make reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of services in the event that services are interrupted by factors such as unavailability, relocation, illness, disability, or death.
Termination of Services
(a) Social workers should terminate services to clients and professional relationships with them when such services and
relationships are no longer required or no longer serve the clients' needs or interests.
(b) Social workers should take reasonable steps to avoid abandoning clients who are still in need of services. Social workers should withdraw services precipitously only under unusual circumstances, giving careful consideration to all factors in the situation and taking care to minimize possible adverse effects. Social workers should assist in making appropriate arrangements for continuation of services when necessary.
(c) Social workers in fee-for-service settings may terminate services to clients who are not paying an overdue balance if the financial contractual arrangements have been made clear to the client, if the client does not pose an imminent danger to self or others, and if the clinical and other consequences of the current nonpayment have been addressed and discussed with the client.
(d) Social workers should not terminate services to pursue a social, financial, or sexual relationship with a client.
(e) Social workers who anticipate the termination or interruption of services to clients should notify clients promptly and seek the transfer, referral, or continuation of services in relation to the clients' needs and preferences.
(f) Social workers who are leaving an employment setting should inform clients of appropriate options for the continuation of services and of the benefits and risks of the options.
