Workshop Description

There are many Federal and State laws that impact the social work profession, and several changes to these laws took place in 2022. It is important for social work professionals in schools and a variety of other settings to understand the impact of these laws on their daily performance to mitigate any potential risk. This workshop will provide practical steps for social workers to more comfortably navigate common ethical dilemmas. The presenters will also describe professional liability insurance and its importance in active practice and retirement planning. 

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Describe ways to mitigate the inherent risks of social work practice in a school setting through best risk management practices.
  • Identify ways to document effectively using risk management tools.
  • Describe strategies to practice ethically within state laws, including comprehensive documentation and resources for supervision based on individual state law.

This workshop is approved for 1.5 continuing education credit hours.
