dc.description.abstract | The rapid developments of online technologies and social media have thrown professionals
who work in the social and human services into a space that can compromise appropriate
relationships and boundaries between the personal and professional. This paper explores the
concept of ‘e-professionalism’ from the perspectives of both professional practice and tertiary
education, where practitioners and students need to consider, and be taught, how to present
themselves professionally online, how to protect themselves from exploitation by others, and
how to engage with clients and colleagues in the world of social media. There are many
examples from the growing field of inter-professional ethics that illustrate the dangers of lack
of due diligence and ethical consideration when creating connections with others in the social
media context. Inappropriate use of social networking sites such as Facebook; lack of
knowledge of privacy settings and protocols; and intrusive requests for accepting ‘friends’ in
the context of therapeutic relationships are some of the problems explored. Implications for
education and practice are discussed. | |
