The Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) faces challenges in advocacy and certification due to decentralized leadership.
This process is controversial, lacking relevance to Canadian policies and legal frameworks, raising doubts about its suitability for registration.
Generally criticized for its structure and rationale, the ASWB exam is specifically faulted for its lack of relevance to Canadian policies and legal frameworks.
Empowering CASW at the federal level is crucial for promoting ethical, fair, and legally protective practices in the Canadian social work profession.
Providing national importance to CASW is seen as needed for leading collaboration with territorial partner organizations and provincial universities by stakeholders, for facilitating the creation of meaningful examinations reflecting the Canadian social work domain.
