Internationally the greater regulation of social work is intended to raise standards and enhance the standing of the profession. Regulatory systems must also be aligned to the demands of an increasingly global workforce. The achievement of limited registration in New Zealand creates challenges and opportunities for the profession.
French
Une plus grande réglementation du travail social sur la scène internationale vise à hausser les normes et à améliorer la profession. Les systèmes de régulation devraient tenir compte des particularités d’une main-d’oeuvre de plus en plus globalisée. La réalisation d’une inscription limitée en Nouvelle-Zélande crée des défis et des possibilités pour la profession.
