Social worker self-care principles

The revision put self-care in two framing places: the Purpose section, and the ethical principle attached to integrity, which says social workers should take measures to care for themselves professionally and personally. B and C name real standards, and both are close neighbours — competence governs the work you take on, and the impairment standard governs what happens once personal difficulties affect your judgement or performance. Neither is where the self-care language landed, and neither requires self-care in itself. The placement is the point: this is stated as a professional expectation rather than as an enforceable rule.
