Technology and social work regulation resources

Social workers and social work regulators are integrating technology into their work. ASWB has assembled these resources to help regulators understand the regulation of technology in social work practice.

Technology Standards in Social Work Practice

ASWB, the National Association of Social Workers, the Council on Social Work Education, and the Clinical Social Work Association partnered to develop a uniform set of technology standards for professional social workers to use as a guide in their practice. The four associations formed the Task Force for Technology Standards in Social Work Practice and jointly developed the standards.

Model Standards for Technology and Social Work Practice

These standards were developed for social work regulators with input from social work regulators and subject matter experts from around the globe.

Laws and regulations database

ASWB maintains information about social work regulations and licensure/registration requirements as a service to ASWB members and the public.

Model Social Work Practice Act

The ASWB Model Social Work Practice Act reflects best practices in social work regulation.

ASWB office closure

ASWB offices will also be closed for a summer break from Monday, June 29 through Friday, July 3. Please note that some activities may experience processing delays during this time period.

Most registrations, scheduling, and score reporting will continue through ASWBCentral. Requests requiring staff attention will be processed in early July. Most inquiries can expect a response within three business days of our return to the office.
