Next Steps
- We are seeking feedback from anyone interested in social work oversight, including our partners, social work practitioners and the public.
- We will use engagement findings to prepare a “What We Heard Report” which will reflect key topics and messages brought forward during the engagement.
- We began this engagement process in spring 2022 and we estimate it will be complete by the end of December 2022.
- We expect to launch a public feedback form and call for written submissions in October 2022.
