Model the Regulation of Social Work Practice as an Ethical Issue

Locate the website of the licensing board for social work practice in your jurisdiction (state or province). After reviewing the regulations for practice in your jurisdiction, identify three regulatory issues that apply to contracting with the client system discussed in the first assignment.

With this information, prepare a podcast to help educate your colleagues who may be newly practicing social workers in your jurisdiction. Discuss the difference in the regulatory issue from the ethical principle and how both may apply to the contract with your client system. The distinctions should be made in your discussion, with the mandate of what you must do in the process clearly differentiated from what you should do in establishing the contract for services. You may use any software you like to record your podcast. Instructions for using Audacity are included in this week’s resources.

Podcasts are assessed considering the following: 1) how well the introduction sets the scene; 2) clarity, accuracy, and relevance of content; 3) whether the conclusion provided a clear summary of the main points; 4) the structure and flow of the podcast, and 5) technical sound quality (volume and clarity). Creativity is also considered.
