| Veteran BSW FAQ - Why can't I do the same things with my license as a bachelor's social worker as I did before when I was not even registered? |
|
The definition of what someone can do as a bachelor's social worker is defined in the Public Health Code. Prior to the implementation of the licensure provision, people who wanted to practice social work could do so without any certification because the law only protected the title social work. The licensing law now limits the title bachelor's social worker to only those who hold a license and it limits the activities to only those who hold a license. This is a new concept and it will take some time for everyone to understand that only those with a license can perform the tasks listed for the bachelor's social worker or the master's social worker. For example, some social workers were provided special training to offer a limited range of therapies to their clients. Only the master's social worker can offer therapeutic services now according to the limitations imposed in the definition of a master's social worker.
