Details

The Social Work Reform Board progress report gives an overview of its activity over the past year in carrying out the recommendations of the Social Work Task Force.

These detailed proposals are the companion to the progress report.

The Social Work Reform Board (SWRB) was set up to carry out the recommendations of the Social Work Task Force to improve social work training and practice.

The SWRB was disbanded in September 2013 when Isabelle Trowler and Lyn Romeo took up their posts as Chief Social Workers.
