What do I do when following an ethical principle, I believe in is likely to produce a negative consequence for my employee/employer or for a client? What’s the difference between a rationalization and a good, ethical reason to set aside a principle? In this session we will look at the three different types of ethical problems, and how to recognize them. We will do an in-depth examination of the first two types and how they can be resolved. Examples will be taken from the bereavement sector.
