Social Workers Registration Board - Public Consultation on Application for Registration Bye-Law 2020

This consultation is now closed.

The Social Workers Registration Board has opened a public consultation on a draft Application for Registration Bye-Law 2020.

Background

The Social Workers Registration Board previously made the Application for Registration of Social Workers Bye-Law 2011.

Since the bye-law was made, the Council revised its bye-law framework and a revised bye-law is required which would be compliant with the framework and which would align to the bye-laws made by other registration boards. The 2011 bye-law will then be revoked.

Changes from the 2011 bye-law include:

• Reference to National Vetting Bureau vetting
• The removal of the requirement for the applicant to submit photographs 
• The inclusion of the requirement to submit details of professional memberships, professional business operations, language knowledge

CORU is inviting responses from registrants and stakeholders relevant to the profession in relation to this draft bye-law.
