We’ve been working for quite some time on adapting the CASW Code of Ethics, Values and Guiding Principles 2024 to create a new Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Nova Scotia, as well as drafting new standards specific to clinical specialists. This kind of change to the College’s foundations requires several rounds of feedback from audiences inside and out; we’d like our members to take a look at the latest drafts and let us know your thoughts. We also have a virtual event planned if you’d like to attend a presentation with Alec Stratford instead of or in addition to the reading: register now to join us at noon Atlantic time on October 2.
Once you’ve had a chance to review the drafts, you can fill out an anonymous survey, or join the conversation with your peers in the comments section of this page below.
Too wordy and some paragraphs are confusing. If you want to have the 2024 Code of Ethics and Standard of Practice documents available to the public then you need to keep it simple with language equal to a grade 6 person could read and understand.
