English While the global movement of skilled labour is widely documented, there has been little analysis of its significance for UK social work, or for the sending countries involved. The ethical implications of UK reliance on overseas trained practitioners are considered, including a Code of Good Practice for ethical recruitment in social work. French Tandis que les mouvements mondiaux de la main-doeuvre qualifiée sont amplement documentés, très peu de recherches ont été menées sur l'impact de ces mouvements sur le travail social national ou encore sur les pays d'où exode cette main-d'oeuvre. Dans cette recherche, nous examinons les implications éthiques de la dépendance du Royaume-Uni à l'égard des praticiens formés outre-mer et nous proposons un Code de bonne conduite pour le recrutement éthique des ressources en travail social. Spanish Mientras que el movimiento global de las destrezas laborales se encuentra ampliamente documentado, ha habido escaso análisis sobre la importancia que este tiene para el trabajo social nacional o para los países remitentes involucrados. Consideramos las implicaciones éticas de la dependencia del Reino Unido de los practicantes entrenados en el extranjero y sugerimos un Código de Buena Práctica para un reclutamiento ético en trabajo social
