Ethics in digital youth work

Ethics refers to a set of principles and values that guide moral behaviour and decision-making. It involves making choices that are morally right, fair, and just, and taking into account the potential impact on others. Acting in accordance with ethics is important for the development of a society characterised by dignity, respect, and well-being. In the context of digital youth work, ethics are particularly important as it involves working with young people in online spaces where they may be vulnerable to harm, exploitation, and abuse. Ethical considerations in digital youth work include issues related to privacy, consent, safety, and inclusivity.
