About this statute

The Act sets up social work registration and licensing, protects the titles “registered social worker,” “licensed social worker,” and “social worker,” and lets complaints about registrant conduct be filed within two years. This part sets out how the Complaints Officer handles complaints, investigations, temporary licence restrictions, alternative dispute resolution, and referrals to a Board of Inquiry. The provision sets service rules for notices, creates offences for non-compliance, gives the Commissioner regulation-making powers, and allows some transitional licensing for existing social workers.
