NASW Disagrees With Santa Clara Employee Services Agency Proposal!

The Santa Clara Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal by the Santa Clara Employee Services Agency to include non-social work masters degrees such as psychology, counseling and gerontology as qualifying educational degrees for the Social Worker Classification. 

NASW doesn’t agree with this proposal and feels it could jeopardize the safety of children, families, the elderly and dependent adults by including personnel that do not have professional social worker training.  Please consider writing an opposition letter to the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors and asking your friends and colleagues to do so.

If you prefer, you can call or email the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors by following this link and clicking on the photo of a supervisor:

For a sample letter and the detailed proposal to add non-social work degrees to the Social Worker Classification, NASW has set up the following website:

Thank you for being an advocate of professional social work.
