How do I reference the code of ethics for social work using APA (7th ed.) style?
Answer
In text (first cite):
British Association of Social Workers (BASW, 2021) states that...
OR
...(British Association of Social Workers (BASW), 2021).
In text (second and subsequent cites):
BASW (2021)...
OR
...(BASW, 2021).
If you are referring to a specific section of the code you will need to include the section number, for example:
In text (first cite):
British Association of Social Workers (BASW, 2021, 2.1)...
OR
...(British Association of Social Workers (BASW), 2021, 2.1).
In text (second and subsequent cites):
BASW (2021, 2.1)...
OR
...(BASW, 2021, 2.1).
In the reference list:
British Association of Social Workers. (2021). The BASW code of ethics for social work.
