Membership with SASW is not equivalent to accreditation as a Registered Social Worker-Provisional (RSW-P) or Registered Social Worker (RSW) Both are separate applications to be made.
While Accreditation is not a prerequisite for becoming a member of SASW, we encourage all Social Workers to pursue Accreditation and apply for SASW membership as well.
The objectives of accreditation are to:
- Ensure professional standards of Social Work practice
- Promote continuing education and training of social workers
- Improve the professional image of social workers
- Groom leaders to guide young social workers
The objectives and benefits of accreditation and how to apply for accreditation as a RSW-P or RSW are available at http://accreditation.sasw.org.sg
Typically, a person who is eligible for SASW Ordinary membership should meet the criteria for accreditation as a RSW-P or RSW.
