Nancy Advocates to Professionalize
Social Work in Her State
Nancy is a SSW-level social worker residing in a state that recognizes and provides licensure only
for MSW-level clinical social workers who have passed a national examination and completed at
least 2 years of supervised clinical experience. The license is what allows clinical social workers
to enter private practice with individuals and families, obtain reimbursement through insurance
companies and other third parties, and tap into public funding sources. In contrast, BSW and
nonclinical MSW social workers have been limited to obtaining state certifications in social work.
These certifications lack credibility with potential clients and funding sources.
In Nancy's state, human service organizations rarely require proof of certificat ion or of a
degree in social work for employment as a social worker in nonclinical settings. So by law,
just about anyone with at least a bachelor's degree can choose to be called a social worker.
People who have majored in psychology, sociology, criminal justice, history, and English routinely
obtain employment in human service and mental health agencies in her state. They often refer
to themselves as social workers, care managers, caseworkers, and intervention specialists. As
a result, the general public believes that the term social worker can be applied to nearly anyone
doing good for others.
Nancy worked hard for her BSW degree and wonders how nonprofessionals can effectively
do the work without the training she has received. It seems to her that the potential for doing
harm is high.
The important point here is that Nancy is thinking and acting as an advocate. To ensure that
clients receive quality services from competent social workers, Nancy works with her National
Association of Social Workers state chapter and local social work educators to promote
state legislation that will establish licensure and title protection for all social workers. As their
recommended changes in state laws are considered, social workers and some client groups
have also been talking with administrators of social work agencies about how important it is to
require that every "social worker" in a human service position have a social work degree and be
appropriately educated.
