Using a problem-based focus, this subject explores our ethical duties towards vulnerable adults and children, with a particular focus on the professional responsibilities of health and human services workers, and justice professionals. We will consider the ethics of intervention into the lives of vulnerable people, canvassing issues of legal capacity, autonomy, paternalism, coercion, privacy and human rights. The subject also examines associated legal duties of care, including good samaritanism.
