Which principle is associated with Client Welfare?

• A. Non Discrimination
• B. Rights and Duties
• C. Trustworthiness
• D. Client Welfare

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that client welfare centers on promoting the client’s well-being, safety, and best interests in every decision and action. This principle guides how you provide treatment, protect confidentiality, obtain informed consent, and set boundaries—always aiming to maximize positive outcomes and minimize potential harm for the client. While the other principles—Non Discrimination (fair and equal treatment), Rights and Duties (balance of client rights with practitioner obligations), and Trustworthiness (honesty and reliability)—are important parts of ethical practice, they do not specifically name the focus on the client’s well-being in the same direct way. The principle that directly embodies the aim of acting for the client’s welfare is precisely Client Welfare.
