ABSTRACT:

We propose to treat the importance of establishing committees of ethics (of research) in social work organizations. We refer here to the ethical analysis of individualized service plans and intervention strategies that case managers apply to beneficiaries, the central ethical problem being represented by the analysis of conditions of ethical acceptability of social intervention.
Central premise: intervention in social work is a form of action research and thus it should be based on the same rules of research on human subjects.

KEYWORDS:

committees of ethics, ethical evaluation, social services.
