After examining the situation, I understand that my discomfort comes from the conflict between the behavior of the agency workers and the code of ethics the NASW has provided. The code of ethics is big on human dignity and respect as well as confidentiality and self-determination I feel that in this situation all three were compromised. By speaking out against someone while they're not around to defend their selves you do not give them self-determination or respect and dignity. By speaking of clients and the client’s problems without their presence makes me think that their confidentiality is being violated. However, I do not have information saying whether the clients have given permission for them to speak to each other
