Role Description This course is designed to expose participants to ethics and reflexivity as they intersect and are performed in social work practice. Professional and relational ethics, ethical decision-making models and the intersections between the law and professional ethics are reviewed and scrutinized from a critical perspective. Self-awareness as an aspect of reflexivity and as it relates to ethics and values in our working relationships, is considered throughout. Contemporary workplace examples are used to ground theory and reflexivity to practice. Such reflexive practices are rooted and framed by our epistemological foundations – or the ways in which we understand the nature of knowledge and its creation. Thus, a consideration of how we know and how such knowing is socially and culturally constructed will support our considerations of ethics and reflexivity.

Role Description This course deconstructs and evaluates the roles that public safety services play in responding to mass disaster scenes and other interagency cooperation issues/scenarios. Issues pertaining to scene control, preparedness, response priorities, risk mitigation, and tiered response systems amongst fire, police, EMS services, military, and other services are addressed via both a theoretical approach, as well as a case study approach. Each service has its own unique training, education, policies, and expertise, and, as a result, requires critical review and comparison. For example, mass disasters occur in diverse contexts with diverse outcomes; therefore, the need to address all that has happened or inevitably will happen from a variety of perspectives requires intense investigation and review of best practices.
