Registration of Chief Social Worker

From Nine To Noon, 9:08 am on 13 June 2017

The country's top social worker has recently applied for registration, despite previous assertions he didn't need to. After years of calls from within the profession for all social workers to be registered, the Social Development Minister Anne Tolley has announced registration should be mandatory. The legislation is to come before parliament in August. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Executive Officer of Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers Lucy Sandford-Reed.
