Summary/Abstract: Helping professions, professions of public trust are undoubtedly a unique and complex issue due to the importance of the needs and interests of another person – client, beneficiary, pupil or patient – that they fulfill. It seems that a great responsibility is connected with taking some kind of care of – and providing assistance to – an individual who is weaker and thus exposed to far-reaching consequences in the form of double social exclusion in case of improper assistance efforts.The presented article is part of the ongoing, socially important interdisciplinary discussion about the deontology of professional help. The presented analysis of selected codes of ethics provides knowledge about the common features or axiological basics in helping professions, and as a consequence points to the ethical and moral obligations that link the people of public trust in their daily activities.
