Reference no: EM133793822 , Length: word count:800

PART - Group Report

Word Count: 800 words per student contribution; as an indication/example, the total word count for a 4-person group* would be 3200 words excluding references. Note: word count is an academic issue/requirement and is assessable. Do not go below or exceed the word limit past 10%.

The group must complete a group written report on your chosen case study, following the work you completed for the oral presentation.
Structuring the Report

While an oral presentation with power point slides is necessarily brief, sufficient only to capture the critical aspects of the case, in the Report you must expand on these. You cannot use bullet points in the Report as you would do in the slides; instead, the report must be written in full sentences and paragraph structure, following the report writing conventions for academic work.

The Report must therefore follow the correct structure and organisation of text including (see also "Report Structure Template" in Week 9 on Moodie):

Cover page - all student names and ID numbers. Bold the name of the student who uploads the complete report in Moodie.
Title page: case study number and title
Executive summary
Table of contents
Several paragraphs constituting the 'body' of the assignment in which you conduct your analysisand discussion as per instructions above.
NOTE: please do not call this 'body'! Instead organise your paragraphs using sub-headings to group the content of your assignment in a coherent way.
Conclusion, summarising the suggested recommendations.
Reflection: each student must include their individual reflection (Can be placed after the reference list).
List of references: This must combine the references from all students which will be collated into a single list, following the APA 7th edition referencing style.
Minutes of your meetings: The Minutes must be brief but informative to clearly show who did what in the assignment (See "Minutes for A2 - Example" and "Minutes for A2 - Instructions" about writing the minutes in the Assessments folder on Moodie).

A note on sub-headings: For some section noted above, please use sub-headings to flag to the reader where you are at; for example, Introduction, Conclusion and 'Guiding Ethical Dilemmas: The Name of Your Model' are the examples of three headings, while 'Uncovering Ethical Issues and Tensions' is a sub-heading. Subheadings might be the steps of your decision-making model. What you use for sub-headings is up to you, but they need to reflect your analysis, concepts you use, etc and related to the decision-making process.

Content of the Report

This assessment is designed to develop skills and knowledge related to understanding the ethical decision-making process and the ability to use models to address ethical dilemmas presented in your assigned case study. Therefore, your focus should be on the ethical decision-making process within your chosen model, which you should apply to analyse the case study.

1. Name and explain a decision-making model, provide a brief introduction of the model, and outline its ethical decision-making process.

2. Apply your model to the case study. You are required to describe your model step by step, incorporating relevant content from the case study you have chosen into each model step:

2.1 Briefly outline the facts of the case - do not reproduce/re-write the case study in your report but state the question title and number at the start of your report and give a brief overview.

2.2 Identify and analyse the relevant ethical issues, explaining the tensions that arise from the case for a community worker in Australia (e.g., conflict of interest, suspected child abuse, requests by client that cannot be accommodated, etc.). Identify whether it is a problem or dilemma. A dilemma should have two equally unwelcome alternatives. Identify them.

2.3 Apply the relevant ethical principles and concepts (e.g., self-determination/autonomy, privacy/confidentiality, duty of care, dual roles, etc. as applicable) to the case, drawing out their significance.

2.4 If/where relevant, cite appropriate legislation - if it is state-specific, ensure you cite the legislation pertinent to the Australian state for the campus you are in.

2.5 Discuss the benefits and potential harms or drawbacks of the decision or actions the case worker could/would take.

3. Optional: If a group wants to receive a HD score, they can apply two or three ethical theories.
