Abstract
The responsibilities within helping relationships are to maintain the general trusts of their clients and patients, not only through care, but also through observing certain codes of practice to preserve their rights.These codes are referred to as ethical codes and they act as guidelines to shape and uphold the general principles regarding staff and patients relationships.This essay will attempt to outline the general codes of ethics, and discuss the moral principles underpinning ethical responsibilities within helping relationships, with particular examples from health, social care and counselling roles. ethical conflicts will also be identified within these roles with particular reference to policies that work in conjunction with these codes.Within caring or helping professions, the counsellor or carer needs to be aware that the client is in their care, because they feel they can help their present situation. Any mistrust or doubt created by these professionals could result in the betrayal of the client's trust.
