1.对案主：对当事人的承诺，帮助案主解决问题；尊重服务对象的自决权；尊重服务对象知情同意的权利；在自己能力范围内提供服务；妥善处理工作过程中可能发生的利益冲突；尊重服务对象的隐私权并加以保密；谨慎对待与服务对象的肢体接触；确保服务中断后的持续服务；遵循服务终止的原则等。

2.对同事：尊重，保密，合作，咨询，服务的转介等。具体来说，尊重，公平和礼貌。社会工作者应该以尊重、礼貌、公平和充分信任的方式来对待同事；处理同事的案主。社会工作者有责任用全部的专业知识处理同事的案主。

3.对服务机构：社会工作者应该遵守对服务机构作出的承诺。

4.对专业：维持专业的正直；社区服务；发展专业知识。

5.对社会：促进普遍福利。社会工作者应该促进社会的普遍福利的增长。
