Social Workers Registration Board

He pānui anō 📣📣 AreTheyRegistered? Here’s why it matters.

In New Zealand, only people who are registered with the Social Workers Registration Board and hold a current practising certificate can call themselves a social worker. That matters because registration helps ensure social workers are qualified, safe, and accountable and gives the public confidence in the profession.

If someone is working as a social worker but isn’t registered, they sit outside the regulatory system. If you employ social workers, please make sure they are registered and their practising certificates are current.

If you’re unsure, you can:
👀 Check the SWRB public register.
✍️ Report concerns about unregistered practice to aretheyregistered@swrb.govt.nz.
🗣️ Raise concerns about a registered social worker through our complaints and professional standards process.
