Abstract

As the demands for accountability in the human services continue to grow, new opportunities for the social work profession will also bring new risks (Kurzman 1995: 1921). These risks will" result directly in a higher demand for professional conduct which, in turn, confirms that accountability in the profession demands continual personal and professional development (Van Zyl & Botha 1997:33). This tendency is consistent with the growing public demand for accountability from all professionals, including social workers (Encyclopedia of Social Work 1987:361).
