Abstract

This chapter is about ethical deliberation and decision making. Essentially, it is about habits of mind that will serve you to maintain an ethical stance in your child and youth care practice. It offers a model to support you in ethically challenging situations and to encourage a habitual way of thinking that identifies and considers ethical aspects of situations in your everyday practice you might otherwise miss. First, however, it provides some reasons why we think a model is necessary.
