Module Overview:
Initially, this module considers the role and importance of terminology within probation practice. Personal and professional ‘values’ are then explored, and the enactment of probation values are critically considered. Turning to the concept of ethics, the module reflects on theoretical and philosophical models of ethics and integrity. Ethical decision-making and links to policy/legislation and models to promote ethical decision making are then considered as well as ethical dilemmas and balancing risk, rights and responsibilities.
Diversity within practice is then explored, with focus around understanding and respecting difference in a multicultural context. Concepts of intersectionality, identity and subcultural considerations are integrated into this module alongside a better understanding of tolerance and its role in respecting diversity. Finally, developing methods to proactively challenge discrimination and inappropriate behaviour represent important aspects of this module.
