בניגוד למרבית העיסוקים הכלולים "במקצועות העזרה" (HELPING PROFESSIONS), שבהם פותחו קודים אתיים לכל עיסוק בנפרד, הקוד האתי לעובדים חינוכיים-טיפוליים בישראל עדיין לא קיים. מאמר זה דן בסוגיות העקרוניות של אתיקה מקצועית משני כוונים: מצד אחד, נקודת המבט של בעלי המקצוע המספקים את השירות, ומצד שני, נקודת ראותם של מקבלי השירות - הילדים ובני הנוער במצבי סיכו...

טענת המאמר היא שמערכת החינוך הקימה במשך שנים מסגרות חינוכיות ומעצימות לבני נוער במצבי סיכון בנפרד מהמערכת הנורמטיבית. האתגר הגדול בעינינו הוא שינוי פרדיגמטי שיתבטא בביטול "גדר ההפרדה" בין החינוך הפורמלי, המתנהל בבתי הספר, לבין החינוך הבלתי פורמלי, המתנהל במסגרות חוץ-בית ספריות וכן במסגרות של "הזדמנות שנייה", ויישום עקרונות אלה במסגרות החינוך הפורמל...
