Does social worker registration have implications for social work supervision?
Keywords:
social worker registration, registration, social workers registration act, supervision, social work practice,Abstract
The aim of this article is to explore the history and development of social worker registration in Aotearoa New Zealand and the possible implications of the Social Workers Registration Act (2003) framework on social work supervision practice. What emerges from this exploration is the possibility that social work supervision has not been given adequate consideration within the registration framework in terms of its integral role in the provision and maintenance of professional social work practice.References
