School social workers operate at the fault line of care and compliance. You’re guarding confidentiality while fielding parent demands, principal directives, FERPA/HIPAA tangles, dual-role pressures with staff, and “gray zone” safety concerns – often with little time and high legal exposure. But knowing the ethical principles and knowing exactly what to do when a parent is yelling, a principal is pressuring you, and a student’s safety hangs in the balance, those are not the same thing. And one mistake can break trust, trigger complaints, or put a student at risk.
That’s why this training is a must, giving you a roadmap that turns ethical complexity into clear, confident action – even under pressure.
You’ll join Dr. Glenda Bailey Hayden and Anjalon Wimbush, LMSW, both seasoned school social workers, with decades of experience. They will clarify exactly what you're up against and provide the practical tools needed to help you navigate these ethical principles.
Through rapid, case-based learning, you’ll translate the NASW Code of Ethics into a clear, real-world decision framework you can use tomorrow. We’ll tackle the toughest school dilemmas – confidentiality, boundaries, documentation and more – and give you the tips and guidance you need to know you’re handling each situation correctly.
You’ll leave with:
Don’t wait until you’re facing an ethical crisis to wish you had this training.
