Disciplinary Action Reporting System (DARS)

The Disciplinary Action Reporting System (DARS) is designed to provide an important front line in the protection of the public. Now the most complete database of its kind, the DARS flagging system provides disciplinary information to member boards to assist them in making licensure decisions. The system is designed to prevent a social worker who has been disciplined in one location from withholding such adverse action from the new licensing jurisdiction.

Once a question is raised through a DARS identification, member boards are encouraged to contact the reporting board for the details of any disciplinary action. The information can be used in determining a candidate's eligibility for licensure.
