Description
Summary:Situations with important and often complex ethical dimensions arise daily in child and youth care, the professional umbrella under which residential child care is located in some countries, including Canada, parts of the United States, South Africa, and Australia.

This article presents a model for ethical decision making that is rooted in the core child and youth care values of reflexivity and relationality.
