More than 100 social workers participated on expert panels to revise and/or develop 25 NASW policy statements over the last two years.
These statements were recently voted on and approved by the National Association of Social Workers’ (NASW) key policymaking body, the Delegate Assembly (comprised of 277 professional social workers who represent NASW’s diverse membership). Policy topics ranged from human trafficking, transgender and gender non-conforming people to social work licensure and title protection.
NASW policy statements set the parameters for NASW’s positions on a broad range of public policy and professional issues and are featured in Social Work Speaks, a comprehensive collection of policies.
